Golden pennies, see them shining in the sun
Golden pennies, lying there for anyone
Pan the river, bless the waters as they run
For golden pennies and the freedom that youve won
Theres adventure waiting in this promised land
Leave old England, take the future in your hand
Leave your troubles on that cold and distant shore
Heres Australia, with golden pennies by the score
Golden pennies
Its hard on a woman when she gets out here
It's hard on a woman, I know
But theres something special about the new frontier
And it takes someone special to go
Will you have me, will you be a poor mans bride
Will you love me, will you stay here by my side
And build a country with our hope and with our pride
I wont fail you though there?s others who have tried
For golden pennies
