There is just one moon, and the golden sunAnd a smile means friendship for everyoneThough the mountains are highAnd the oceans are wideIt’s a small world after all

TEXAS (USA)

I’m going to leave, old Texas nowThey’ve got no use, for the long-horned cowThey ploughed and fenced, my cattle ranchAnd the people there, are all so strange

For the people there, are not so strange

I’ll bid adieu, to the AlamoAnd turn my head, towards Mexico….

Up jumped the swagman, leapt into the billabong“You’ll never catch me alive” said heAnd his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong“You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me”

Oh, may I go a-wanderingUntil the day I dieOh, may I always laugh and singBeneath God’s clear blue sky
