Star of the South

Verse 1

When the first light of dawn, breakin' through yonder hills

Kisses dew on the corn and the leaves on the pine

I will make tender vows to that pretty young thing

Who makes all the sweet music in this heart of mine

Verse 2

Like the first bird that sings, she descends from the skies

And, with wings like an angel, she touches my brow

And the night fades away, and my dreams all take flight

In the glimmer she brings to the love that is now

Chorus

Good morning to, to my love (Good morning), good mornin' (Good mornin')

You're the promise of new day to me (Good mornin')

Though oceans may toss us apart (Good mornin'), you're here in my heart

Good mornin' to Australia

Good mornin', Chookie

Verse 3

Though I sleep in the West, she awakes in the East

In the beautiful land, 'cross the deep, rollin' sea

She's the star of the South, she's my bright mornin' sun

And she makes all my tomorrows seem so lovely to me

Chorus

Good mornin' to, to my love (Good mornin'), good mornin' (Good mornin')

You're the promise of new day to me (Good mornin')

Though oceans may toss us apart (Good mornin'), you're here in my heart

Good mornin' to Australia

Good mornin', Chookie

Outro

Good mornin' to Australia

Good mornin', Chookie
