Once I had a silly notion to out across the ocean The future for me didn't look to bright So I signed up with a tanker, Got on board and raised the anchor Stood and watched the Golden Gate fade out of sight Nineteen days and nights we travelled Through the stormy seas we battled 'Till we landed in Australia far away Far from friends and San Francisco And the Miss I thought I'll miss so 'Till I stepped ashore in Melbourne that first day But I met Melba from Melbourne she made my heart yearn She made my tears flow like wine She let me kiss her then made me miss her 'Cause Melba could never be mine So in love but couldn't get her Cared so much, couldn't forget het I fell in love just a little bit more and more There I was just like I started All alone and broken hearted I recall the day I left Australia's shore I was standing there and tryin' So hard to keep from crying The more I tried, the more my tears would show Then a cold breeze seem to whisper "it's the end you better kiss her" So I kissed her and I turned away to go Then I left Melba from Melbourne She made my heart yearn She made my tears flow like wine She wouldn't leave there I couldn't stay there So Melba could never be mine
