| It’s good-bye I know, to my darlin' Rose,
|
| I’m never comin' back,
|
| For a thousand miles because forever I’ll
|
| be further down the track.
|
| Happiness with you, beside the ocean blue,
|
| Will roll my memory back,
|
| And although my heart will yearn,
|
| There can be no return,
|
| From further down the track.
|
| It was love and joy for a servant boy,
|
| That lived for such a short while,
|
| It hurts me too, darlin', leavin' you,
|
| Your eyes and tender smile,
|
| Oh, but it’s best to go and never let you know,
|
| That someone calls me back,
|
| To her I made my vows,
|
| That’s why I’m leavin' now,
|
| From further down the track.
|
| I know I’ll ne’er forget, the happy night we met,
|
| When the moon light showed us back,
|
| And your sweet caress will be the happiness,
|
| I’ll remember down the track.
|
| So let me roll my car and let me drive so far,
|
| I’ll not be turnin' back,
|
| Oh but your face I’ll see,
|
| Ever fair with me,
|
| As I’m goin' down the track.
|
| It was love and joy for a servant boy,
|
| That lived for such a short while,
|
| It hurts me too, darlin', leavin' you,
|
| Your eyes and tender smile,
|
| Oh, but it’s best to go and never let you know,
|
| That someone calls me back,
|
| To her I made my vows,
|
| That’s why I’m leavin' now,
|
| For further down the track.
|
| Down the track,
|
| Down the track,
|
| Down the track,
|
| Down the track,
|
| Down the track. |
