| It’s good-bye I know, to my darlin' Rose, | 
| I’m never comin' back, | 
| For a thousand miles because forever I’ll | 
| be further down the track. | 
| Happiness with you, beside the ocean blue, | 
| Will roll my memory back, | 
| And although my heart will yearn, | 
| There can be no return, | 
| From further down the track. | 
| It was love and joy for a servant boy, | 
| That lived for such a short while, | 
| It hurts me too, darlin', leavin' you, | 
| Your eyes and tender smile, | 
| Oh, but it’s best to go and never let you know, | 
| That someone calls me back, | 
| To her I made my vows, | 
| That’s why I’m leavin' now, | 
| From further down the track. | 
| I know I’ll ne’er forget, the happy night we met, | 
| When the moon light showed us back, | 
| And your sweet caress will be the happiness, | 
| I’ll remember down the track. | 
| So let me roll my car and let me drive so far, | 
| I’ll not be turnin' back, | 
| Oh but your face I’ll see, | 
| Ever fair with me, | 
| As I’m goin' down the track. | 
| It was love and joy for a servant boy, | 
| That lived for such a short while, | 
| It hurts me too, darlin', leavin' you, | 
| Your eyes and tender smile, | 
| Oh, but it’s best to go and never let you know, | 
| That someone calls me back, | 
| To her I made my vows, | 
| That’s why I’m leavin' now, | 
| For further down the track. | 
| Down the track, | 
| Down the track, | 
| Down the track, | 
| Down the track, | 
| Down the track. |
