Seaward, where I'm going
Imprisoned 'neath these sails
Freedom slowly fading
Blow hard, you southern gales
Why can't they all see reason?
We only want a better life
The politicians in their mansions
Know nothing of strife
Early one dark morning
Came knocking at my door
Redcoats with their bayonets
Knocked me down to my floor
They carried off our doorstep three men
And locked us in a darkened cell
The verdict was to be deported
Into Australia's hell
Here we stand close to land
Crew must sail from ship to shore
You are free, will you see
This ideal we lay before?
Seaward, where I'm going
A victim of the English law
Freedom, slowly fading
My days of sunshine are no more
Why can't they all see reason?
We only want a better life
The politicians in their mansions
Know nothing of strife
Here we stand close to land
Crew must sail from ship to shore
You are free, will you see
This ideal we lay before?
Here we stand close to land
Crew must sail from ship to shore
You are free, will you see
This ideal we lay before?
