Lights Of Sydney Town

Well as I went out on a midsummer’s day
With a bellyful of bargain basement wine
I was thinking about my own true love
And the way she abused this heart of mine

Let her go, let her go, blow boys blow
Follow the ensign down
Let her go, let her go, blow boys blow
Blow out the lights of Sydney Town

She was tall and fair and I loved her with my life
I never tipped another girl the wink
But she couldn’t stop herself when the flash lads came around
She’d be lining up some fella for a drink

Now I’m sick in the head, I haven’t been to bed
Take the bottle from your gob and give it here
When a man’s on the ground and his love has broken down
Load him up with Mogadon and beer

Well tonight I’m as drunk as I was the night before
Tomorrow will be more or less the same
And I’ll drink to the girl with the dirty yellow hair
She was coming round the mountain when she came
