In this world I have no comfort

"In this world I have no comfort and it's here I can't remain

Sure I'll go out and drown myself if I could see the stream." he says

"In this world you have no comfort and its here you can't remain,

and if you like to drown yourself I'll show you to the stream"

"Let you stand on the river bank and I'll run up the hill...she says

"Then push me in with all your might" he says

"My love I will" she says.

Now he stood on the river bank and she ran up the hill

and when she ran down he slipped aside and let her tumble in.

She sank down to the bottom and she floated to the top,

he put a wattle to her side and he shoved her further off.

"Yirra Johnny, dearest Johnny are you leaving me behind?

"Yirra Nancy, dearest Nancy, sure you thought you had me blind!"
