1
Once I had a silly notion to out across the ocean
2
The future for me didn't look to bright
3
So I signed up with a tanker
4
Got on board and raised the anchor
5
Stood and watched the Golden Gate fade out of sight
6
Nineteen days and nights we traveled
7
Through the stormy seas we battled
8
'Till we landed in Australia, far away
9
Far from friends and San Francisco
10
And the miss I thought I'll miss so
11
'Till I stepped ashore in Melbourne that first day
12
So in love but couldn't get her
13
Cared so much, couldn't forget her
14
I fell in love just a little bit more and more
15
There I was just like I started
16
All alone and broken hearted
17
I recall the day I left Australia's shore
18
I was standing there and trying
19
So hard to keep from crying
20
The more I tried, the more my tears would show
21
Then a cold breeze seem to whisper
22
"It's the end you better kiss her"
23
So I kissed her and I turned away to go
24
Then I left Melba from Melbourne
25
She made my heart yearn
26
She made my tears flow like wine
27
She wouldn't leave there
28
I couldn't stay there
29
So Melba could never be mine
