SHIRALEE
Theme from the film "The Shiralee" (1957)
(Tommy Steele)

Tommy Steele - 1957



(Shiralee, Shiralee, Shiralee, Shiralee)
Walk with me (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, Shiralee)
Walk with me (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, Shiralee)

With this burden by my side, I wander far and wide
And through the Outback I have to roam
But my sorrow she cannot tell, she's just a little girl
Who's lonely like me without a home
Shiralee (Walk with me)
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, Shiralee (Walk with me)

Oh how lonely she would be if she wasn't with me
But only I can see she's my Shiralee
She slept in my arms from the time we did start
She's light in my arms, but so heavy in my heart
(Shiralee) Walk with me
(Walk with me, walk with me)

She slept in my arms from the time we did start
She's light in my arms, but so heavy in my heart
Shiralee (Walk with me, Shiralee)
Walk with me!
