Botany Bay |
| Sining tour a lie your a lie addy |
| Sining tour a lie your a lie hey ey |
| Singing tour a lie your a lie addy |
| I’m bound for botany bay |
| Farewell to my friends and my homeland |
| Fermanagh, Tyrone, Donegal |
| Farewell to the green fields of Ireland |
| For today I am leaving you all |
| Sining tour a lie your a lie addy |
| Sining tour a lie your a lie hey ey |
| Singing tour a lie your a lie addy |
| I’m bound for botany bay |
| We’re standing in line altogether |
| Our passports and visas in hand |
| And we pray that it won’t be forever |
| But today we are leaving this land |
| There’s friends here from Galway and Sligo |
| Leitrim, Rosscommon, Mayo |
| Dublin and Cork and Tipperary |
| But not one of us wishes to go |
| Sining tour a lie your a lie addy |
| Sining tour a lie your a lie hey ey |
| Singing tour a lie your a lie addy |
| I’m bound for botany bay |
| It’s not on a tall ship we’re leaving |
| A big plane will take us away |
| But one day the tide will be turning |
| We will all return home someday |
| But it’s now time to say 'Slan Abhaile' |
| Australia is calling today |
| So together let’s sing the comalya |
| For we’re bound for botany bay |
| Sining tour a lie your a lie addy |
| Sining tour a lie your a lie hey ey |
| Singing tour a lie your a lie addy |
| I’m bound for botany bay |
| Singing tour a lie your a lie addy |
| I’m bound for botany bay |
