Oh Jeez it's dry and its no wonder why Predicted what this is about He said he'd a fear. as he cried in his Beer That we're in for a Hell of a drought The Sun's burning down the fields are all brown The stocks gone searching for shade The Dams running low, the ground water's gone Green grass ?? There's nary a blade. Now there's Emu and 'Roo and damned Cockatoo Parrots and Finches - the lot Looking for feed and taking no heed Of nought but Guns and lead shot. And we've got the great need to buy in some feed It's causing plenty of Pain Let's hope we hold out, in Spite of the Drought Till there's rain, rain, and more rain. That Creek bed's gone dry, no word of a lie What can we do to get water Most of the stock's gone off to the works I'm afraid there's not any quarter But this is no prank and that Wank' from the Bank Reminds us we are indebted To his great big concern which continues to earn Millions of Dollars unfettered. But when we've lost hope and no one can cope And we're going to be pushed off our Land We'll ask the dear "Guv'ment" to give us some help But don't hold your Breath .... understand ?? Now we've struggled before, in days of Yore And there's something to learn ev'ry season There's plenty of Woe, but we'll give it a go The Challenge....Enough of a reason We've Farmed all our life, in all sorts of Strife And we've made it through thick and through Thin But with help from our Mates - and some from Above We'll stick it on out -- and we'll win.... |
