Down the Track

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.
