The company sent the boys to their new homes in ships, and the lads were all fond of each other.
They had a farewell party, and they ate cookies and drank tea. And they had a song. And they had a dance. Dancing was apparently a big part of the party: And we had a great time, oh, we did We had a party, yes we did, And we ate cookies and drank tea. The girls were crying, and there were tears in their eyes, as they said goodbye to their sweet little boys. And as they boarded their ship, and sailed away from their native land, their hearts were filled with sadness and longing.
For the boys were going to work on the mines, the mines where no one ever comes back from. And when the boys got to their new homes in Australia and America, they were so very happy. They were so very happy. But when the boys went to sleep at night, they slept in dreams of home. And when they woke up in the morning, they worked on the mines again. They worked on the mines again.
