1
Once I got a foolish notion to cross that big wide ocean
2
The future for me didn't look so bright
3
So I signed up with a tanker, got on board and raised the anchor
4
Stood and watched the Golden Gate fade out of sight
5
Nineteen days and nights we traveled through the stormy seas
6
We battled till we land again, Australia far away
7
Far from friends and San Francisco and the Miss I thought I miss so
8
Till I stepped ashore of Melbourne that first day
9
But I met Melba from Melbourne, she made my heart yearn
10
She made my tears flow like wine
11
She let me kiss her then made me miss her
12
'Cause Melba could never be mine
13
So in love but couldn't get her, cared so much, I couldn't forget her
14
I fell in love just a little bit more and more
15
There I was just like I started all alone and broken hearted
16
I recall the day I left Australian shore
17
I was standin' there and tryin' so hard to keep from cryin'
18
And the more I tried, the more my tears would show
19
Then the south breeze seem to whisper
20
Hold her close and once more kiss her
21
It was hopeless so I turned away to go
22
But I left Melba from Melbourne, she made my heart yearn
23
She made my tears roll like wine
24
She wouldn't leave there, I couldn't stay there
25
So Melba could never be mine
26
(Melba could never be mine, Melba could never be mine)
