'In the year of 39'
Assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the story tellers say That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day Sailed across the milky seas
Never looked back never feared never cried
Don't you hear my call Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
'In the year of 39'
Came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news
Of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey
Little darlin' we'll away
But my love this cannot be
Oh so many years have gone
Though I'm older than a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me
Don't you hear my call Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
Don't you hear my call Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead pity me
Assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the story tellers say That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day Sailed across the milky seas
Never looked back never feared never cried
Don't you hear my call Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
'In the year of 39'
Came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news
Of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey
Little darlin' we'll away
But my love this cannot be
Oh so many years have gone
Though I'm older than a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me
Don't you hear my call Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
Don't you hear my call Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead pity me
