Marty Robbins - Melba From Melbourne Lyrics
Once I had a silly notion to out across the oceanThe future for me didn't look to brightSo I signed up with a tanker,got on board and raised the anchorStood and watched the Golden Gate fade out of sightNineteen days and nights we travelledThrough the stormy seas we battled'Till we landed in Australia far awayFar from friends and San Franciscoand the Miss I thought I'll miss so'Til I stepped ashore in Melbourne that first day.So in love but couldn't get herCared so much, couldn't forget hetI fell in love just a little bit more and moreThere I was just like I startedAll alone and broken heartedI recall the day I left Australia's shoreI was standing there and tryin'So hard to keep from cryingThe more I tried, the more my tears would showThen 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 MelbourneShe made my heart yearnShe made my tears flow like wineShe wouldn't leave thereI couldn't stay thereSo Melba could never be mine...
