Ian Confrey Poet Ballad

I'M Going To Australia

I'm going to Australia Da 
A year at the most

I'll try to be like u such a gracious host

So don't fill Ur heart wit a great sorrow

 if I had the shillings I'd be  home tomorrow 

So tell me ma  I love her and not to gloom 

And make sure there's no one in my old room 

I can't wait to see my family. My family the most 

But I've made some great friends I don't like to boast 

So wen the time comes for me to leave 

My mother always told me keep a tissue up Ur sleeve 

Is there work at home I don't know

There's only one way to find out we'll see how we go
