their Moxbury bounds
Where all the maids of Australia
did play their wild pranks
by a shady green bough,

in the forests of happy Australia,
that beautiful sheen,

the trees evergreen,
where the pretty gay damsel

are handsome and gay

gave me
On the day I was born in Australia

On the day I was born in Australia,
Where the maidens are handsome

In the streams of my native Australia.

And I entered the bush of Australia

And we sported together
