Will I Return To Ballarat

Will I return to Ballarat? don't know myself I may Though I would like to return there if only for a day To visit again my favourite haunts and meet friends I've got there No better place than Ballarat though I've been to many where. I'd love to spend a little while in Buninyong Crown Hotel And have a drink and share a round with people I know well And meet old 'Nuffa' one more time if just to say hello Will I return to Ballarat? don't ask me I don't know. I'd love to spend an hour or two by lake of Wendouree The nearest place to heaven itself or so 'twould seem to me Where man and nature live in peace and wild born bird grow tame Will I return to Ballarat? my answer still the same. Will I return to Ballarat? I've returned to there before And every time I've left that town departure pain hurt more I'd love to see old Ballarat to visit there again But I know I might have to leave and is it worth the pain? . Will I return to Ballarat? don't know can't even say For distant Lands and distant hills keep beckoning me away Far from sunny Victoria and that beloved place My home from home in Ballarat where mine was no strange face.
