The Brown One From Tahiti

The brown one from Tahiti is only twenty three
And she is feeling homesick for her island in the sea
From here even a long way thousands of miles by sea or sky
Yet her great love for her Island she never would deny
The brown one from Tahiti brown eyes and coal black hair
So down to earth and lovely and unburdened by care
A credit to her people and her Island far away
Though here she has worked and lived for two years here she won't grow old and gray
The brown one from Tahiti she has a lovely smile
So easy for to talk to and free of conceit and guile
A great loss to Tahiti is surely Melbourne's gain
And though at times she does feel homesick here for now she will remain
A credit to her family and a credit to her race
Is the one from Polynesia with the lovely smiling face.
