Carra Barra Wirra Canna – Rolf Harris
Capo # 3
G D G
There's a lake in South Australia, little lake with lovely name.
D G
And the story woven round it, from the piccaninnies came.
D G
Every night the native mothers croon this lovely lullaby,
D G
Croon across the moonlit waters, to the star up in the sky.
G D G
Carra Barra, Wirra Canna, little star upon the lake,
G D G
Guide me through the hours of darkness, keep me safely till I wake.
G D G
Piccaninnies' heads are nodding, drowsy crooning fills the air,
D G
Little eyes at last are closing, and the boat of dreams is there.
D G
Guide my boat across the waters, cross the waters still and deep,
D G
Light me with your little candle, safely to the land of sleep.
G D G
Carra Barra, Wirra Canna, little star upon the lake,
G D G
Guide me through the hours of darkness, keep me safely till I wake.
