lyrics

From across the seas
He came to work
Sent the money back
For his wife and child
It wasn’t long
Before they came
To a strawberry farm
In Redland Bay

Life was looking good
All the troubles left behind
But they have a funny way
Of finding you in time
Loveday Number 9

The war broke out
Enemies were sought
He caught the eye
Of an informer
He took his seat
Waved good-bye
To South Australia

With all your kind

Four years gone and he would never be the same
Took each sunrise with a shot of shame

They closed the camps down and forgot his name

Four years gone and
his boy had taken the reins
They closed the camps down
But left him with the stain
Loveday Number 9
