1788 Lyrics by The Go Set

Sing a Song of Revolution

2004

One man landed on the Eastern Shore today
White sails and a, red sun set
We came from far away, and it's a
New land, a new hope, for the free settlers that came
And spend, nine months in a sunburnt land
It drives a, good man insane

We came with nothing, you and I
We came from nothing, on the sea, we

Sail away, sail away
On the good ship Endeavor
New hope, Hell's Gates
Van Diemen's Land
Sail away, sail away
On the good ship Endeavour
New hope, Hell's Gates
Great Southern Land

One man landed on the Eastern Shore today
White sails and a, red sun set
We came from far away, and it's Her
Majesty's solution, for all the
Crowding in the jails, and for
All our petty crimes, my friend
We had to sail

We came with nothing, you and I
We came from nothing, on the sea, we

Sail away, sail away
On the good ship Endeavor
New hope, Hell's Gates
Van Diemen's Land
Sail away, sail away
On the good ship Endeavour
New hope, Hell's Gates
Great Southern Land

We came with nothing, you and I
We came from nothing, on the sea, we

Sail away, sail away
On the good ship Endeavor
New hope, Hell's Gates
Van Diemen's Land
Sail away, sail away
On the good ship Endeavour
New hope, Hell's Gates
Great Southern Land

Sail away, sail away
On the good ship Endeavor
Sail away, sail away
On the good ship Endeavor
Sail away, sail away
On the good ship Endeavor
New hope, Hell's Gates
Great Southern Land
