The Only Land For Me (A Currency Lad)

Prate not to me of foreign strand, Of beauty o'er the sea - "This is my own - my native land" - The only land for me! The only land for me The only land for me "This is my own - my native land" - The only land for me! I love to roam, like a wild gazelle, O'er my native mountains blue, And wildly, thro' the woody dell, Chase the bounding kangaroo! The bounding kangaroo The bounding kangaroo And wildly thro' the woody dell Chase the bounding kangaroo! I've rode upon the stormy wave, I've danc'd aboon the sea; And where's the pleasure that it gave Like my native land to me? My native land to me My native land to me And where's the pleasure that it gave Like my native land to me?
