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 I'm all alone

On me way to the promised land America

I'm a fugitive on a leaking sieve

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?

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?
