My Girl Back Home Lyrics by Edward Baker-Duly

South Pacific (2002 Royal National Theatre Cast Recording)

2002

[CABLE]
My girl back home
I’d almost forgot
A blue-eyed kid
I liked her a lot
We got engaged
Both families were glad
And I was told by my uncle and dad
That if I were clever and able
They’d make me a part of a partnership
Cable, Cable, and Cable
How far away
Philadelphia, PA
Princeton, NJ
How far are they
From coconut palms
And banyan trees
And coral sands
And Tonkinese
[NELLIE]
How far away
Little Rock, ARK
[CABLE]
Princeton, NJ
How far are they
[NELLIE]
How far are they
[BOTH]
From coconut palms
And banyan trees
And coral sands
[CABLE]
And Tonkinese
