  1. (continued from previous page)
    To me on the head, - let me like it or no.
    Now the master is gone to enjoy the reward,
    Then was given to him by his sovereign Lord.

    My Sweet Currabaha, I smile when I see
    Thy fields decked with daisies, its a pleasure to me,
    On a bright summer morning to wander alone,
    And to breath the fresh air of my own native home.
    (To the tune of "Sweet Vale of Avoca")
