There's some that'll cling to the country and some that'll turn to towns;

But I know what I'll do, and I'll do it right or wrong,

I'll just get back to the Blue Mountains, for that's where I belong.

Athol's a bonny country and Sussex is good to see,

But it's long since I left Blighty and I'm not what I used to be;

And May in Devon's a marvel and June on Tummel's fine,

And that may be most folk's fancy, but it somehow isn't mine;

For I know what I like, and the Land of Heart's Delight

For me is just on the Blue Mountains, for that's where I feel right.

So I'll pack my box and bedding in the old South Indian mail
