Rolling Home lyrics

Now farewell, Australian's daughters

We shall leave your fruitful shore

We shall soon cross deep blue waters

To see our home and friends once more

We shall sing back songs and shanties

Say goodbye to all friends here

We shall soon trip our anchor

And for old Hamburg we shall steer

Rollin' home, rollin' home

Rollin' home across the sea

Rollin' home to dear old Hamburg

Rollin' home, dear land, to thee

Eastward, eastward, ever eastward

To the rising of the sun

We have steered ever eastward

Since our voyage has begun

Off Cape Horn on a winter's mornin'

Setting sails in ice and snow

You could hear the shellback shoutin'

"Hoist away!" and let her go

Rollin' home, rollin' home

Rollin' home across the sea

Rollin' home to dear old Hamburg

Rollin' home, dear land, to thee

Rollin' home, rollin' home

Rollin' home across the sea

Rollin' home to dear old Hamburg

Rollin' home, dear land, to thee
