as-

here

the

vo-

In

the

days

when

lands

were

few

Here

the

ship

sailed

out

in-

to

the

blue

and

sun-

Swee-

And

the

That

the

score

brave

souls

in-

For

a lo-

day

sailed

a-

the

Ne'er

looked

back,

ne-

Don't

you

hear

my

call

though

you're

ma-

years

a-

Don't

you

hear

me

cal-

you?

Write

your

let-

in

the

sand

for

the

day

I

take

your

hand

In

the

land

that

our

grand-

child-

ren

knew

In

the

year

of

thir-

ty

nine

came

a

ship

in

from

the

blue

The

vo-

lun-

teers

came

home

that

day

And

they

bring

good

news

of

a

world

so

new-

ly

born

Though

their

hearts

so

hea-

vi-

ly

weigh

For

the

Earth

is

old

and

grey,

lit-

tle

dar-

lin',

well-

a-

way

But

my

love,

this

can-

not

be

For

so

ma-

ny

years

are

gone

though

I'm

ol-

der

but

a

year

Your

mot-

her's

eyes

from

your

eyes

cry

to

me

Don't

you

hear

my

call

though

you're

ma-

years

a-

Don't

you

hear

All

your

let-

in

can-

not

heal

me

like

your

For

my

still
