Lyrics Marty Robbins – Melba From Melbourne

Once I had a silly notion to out across the ocean
The future for me didn’t look to bright
So I signed up with a tanker,
got on board and raised the anchor

So in love but couldn’t get her
cared so much, couldn’t forget her
I fell in love just a little bit more and more
There I was just like I started
all alone and broken hearted
I recall the day I left Australia’s shore
I was standing there and tryin’
so hard to keep from crying
The more I tried, the more my tears would show
Then a cold breeze seem to whisper
«it’s the end you better kiss her»
So I kissed her and I turned away to go

Then I left Melba from Melbourne
She made my heart yearn
She made my tears flow like wine
She wouldn’t leave there
I couldn’t stay there
So Melba could never be mine
