Explore "The Beautiful Land of Australia" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
All you on emigration bent, / With home and England discontent, / Come, listen to my sad lament, / All about the bush of Australia. / I once possessed a thousand pounds. / Thinks I -- how very grand it sounds / For a man to be farming his own grounds / In the beautiful land of Australia.
Chorus / Illawarra, Mittagong, / Parramatta, Wollongong. / If you wish to become an ourang-outang, / Then go to the bush of Australia.
