I dream of you

I began me trip on a three mast ship
On me way to the promised land America
With me old rucksack on me worn out back
On me way to the promised land America

I'm sentenced to prison in Australia
To hell with the Queen and her regalia
I'm starting a new life in America
I miss you so here I go

As we left the docks with me old squeezebox
On me way to the promised land America
I potatoes peel and I homesick feel
On me way to the promised land America

I'm sentenced to prison in Australia
To hell with the Queen and her regalia
I'm starting a new life in America
I miss you so here I go

But I dream of you my darling
When the nights are long
Where the river meets the ocean banks that's where I belong
Will you think of me my darling?
When the nights are long
Will you kiss our kids and tuck them in
Now that daddy's gone?

Now I'm far from home and all alone
On me way to the promised land America
I'm a fugitive on a leaking ship
On me way to the promised land America

I'm sentenced to prison in Australia
To hell with the Queen and her regalia
I'm starting a new life in America
I miss you so here I go

But I dream of you my darling
When the nights are long
Where the river meets the ocean banks that's where I belong
Will you think of me my darling?
When the nights are long
Will you kiss our kids and tuck them inN
Ow that daddy's gone?

But I dream of you my darling
When the nights are long
Where the river meets the ocean banks that's where I belong
Will you think of me my darling?
When the nights are long
Will you kiss our kids and tuck them in
Now that daddy's gone?
