Antarctica

Oh the time is near upon us, and now we must away, (away, dear Molly)
For our coffer's lying empty but a ship lies in the bay, (away, dear Molly)
Now the light is gone from the sky, a single white tear it falls from your eye
And when the morning light comes will be the last time that I see the sun

So I'll away, Antarctica, (woe, oh, oh, oh)
So I'll away, Antarctica

Oh the Lord has many creatures, great and small, (away, dear Molly)
And I'm off to put a spike into the greatest of them all, (away, dear Molly)
Where the wind's a white bar of light and sailors can spend six months in the night
Where the ice is fast closing in and all that is warm is a bottle of gin...

So I'll away, Antarctica, (woe, oh, oh, oh)
So I'll away, Antarctica

Oh the time has come upon us, and now we must away, (away, dear Molly)
For our coffer's lying empty but a ship lies in the bay, (away, dear Molly)
If she's shite for back to the front she'll bear us to hunt the gray and the blue
And when the moon's in the sky just pray me alive and back home to you

I'll away, Antarctica
So I'll away, Antarctica
