My brave Aussie

Verse 1: In the land down under where the gumtrees sway, I kissed my love goodbye on that fateful day. As he sailed off to fight in a foreign land, I felt a fear that I could not understand. Chorus: Oh my love, my Aussie boy so brave, Off to war, your life to save. I'll pray for you each night and day, And wait for you to come what may. Verse 2: My father fought the Boers in days of old, And now my love faces dangers untold. Against the Turks he'll march with courage strong, I pray he'll come back where he belongs. Chorus: Oh my love, my Aussie boy so brave, Off to war, your life to save. I'll pray for you each night and day, And wait for you to come what may. Bridge: Will history repeat itself, I wonder, Will my son face battles asunder? I'll keep the home fires burning bright, And pray for the ones who go to fight. Chorus: Oh my love, my Aussie boy so brave, Off to war, your life to save. I'll pray for you each night and day, And wait for you to come what may. Outro: So here I'll stay, a waiting wife, Wishing for an end to all this strife. For my love, my father, and my son, I'll pray for peace when all is done. Oh my love, my Aussie boy so brave, Off to war, your life to save. I'll pray for you each night and day, And wait for you to come what may. Outro: So here I'll stay, a waiting wife, Wishing for an end to all this strife. For my love, my father, and my son, I'll pray for peace when all is done.
