curry road

going down curry road

going down curry road

going down curry road

pretty girl waitin' down curry road

constable give me water

water i desire

constable give me water

my inside's burning like fire

i was going to see my matilda

to make matilda my wife

till some jealous fellow jumped me

and cut me with a sugarcane knife

going down curry road

going down curry road

going down curry road

pretty girl waitin' down curry road

constable i'm a-dying

i can feel it in my soul

and i can feel my hands hand feet

slowly growing cold

evil man took my money

won't you listen to my plea

go and tell matilda

about my tragedy

tell matilda that i love her

and tell her not to cry

tell her that i'll wait for her

in the land beyond the sky

going down curry road

going down curry road

going down curry road

pretty girl waitin' down curry road
