Once I had a silly notion to out across the ocean

The future for me didn't look to bright

So I signed up with a tanker

Got on board and raised the anchor

Stood and watched the Golden

Gate fade out of sight

Nineteen days and nights we travelled

Through the stormy seas we battled

Till we landed in Australia far away

Far from friends and San Francisco

And the miss i thought i'll miss so

Till I stepped ashore in Melbourne

that first day

But I met Melba from Melbourne

she made my heart yearn

She made my tears flow like wine

She let me kiss her then made me miss her

Cause Melba could never be mine

So in love but couldn't get her

Cared so much couldn't forget het

I fell in love just a little bit more and more

There I was just like I started

All alone and broken hearted

I recall the day I left Australia's shore

I was standing there and tryin'

So hard to keep from crying

The more I tried

the more my tears would show

Then a cold breeze seem to whisper

it's the end you better kiss her

So I kissed her and I turned away to go

Then I left Melba from Melbourne

She made my heart yearn

She made my tears flow like wine

She wouldn't leave there

I couldn't stay there

So Melba could never be mine
