Tekst piosenki:
I am an orphan girl
In Westport I was found
The workhouse is my world
Since the praties took us down
What time in life is left to me
If I don’t leave Westport town?
But the crown is sending girls to sea,
For far Australia bound
[Chorus]
Sail, sail, sail me away
Sail to Australia-yay...
Sail, sail, sail me - I pray!
Sail me away... to Australia
They say Australia’s fine
They say Australia’s fair
Australia’s on my mind
And the fields of praties there
I pray when this inspection’s done
That they’ll say me fit to sail
For they don’t just send out anyone
Oh Lord, don’t see me fail
[Chorus]
Sail, sail, sail me away
Sail to Australia-yay...
Sail, sail, sail me - I pray!
Sail me away... to Australia
Ooooh, Australia...
I am scarcely turned sixteen
But I’m ready now to go
I’m decent and I’m clean
Fit for any man to know
And I will be some good man’s wife
If there I’ll settle down
And find myself a better life
If I get to Sydney town
[Chorus]
Sail, sail, sail me away
Sail to Australia-yay...
Sail, sail, sail me - I pray!
Sail me away... to Australia
Sail me away...
Sail me - I pray...
Oh, sail me away to Australia...
I am an Orphan Girl
Oh, I am an Orphan Girl...
