Real country people in their prime,
Livin' in New South on Queensland time
He's a stockman, likes raisin' sheep,
Likes raisin' children, don't get much sleep
On the shady big verandah, with his hardworking wife,
Three young sidekicks,
It's a way of life.
Some years they make it, some years they don't
Sometimes the creek flows, sometimes it won't
Sometimes he's mean, he's got a gun
When the ewes are lambing he's got pigs on the run
Out in the lignum, on the water course
You could lose a pig dog, you could lose a horse.
Think you oughta know the channel's coming through
Wipin' out the bushland and the kangaroo
Greedy men with water rights to neutralise the land
When's it gonna stop I just don't understand.
With cotton in their ears and dollars in their eyes
Their banker grins and our country dies.
They love the bush, they grow the wool
They respect the land and it's beautiful
Blue Bonnets, Leatherheads and Red-Back Wrens
Bower Birds, Ring Necks and Water Hens
Red Wings and Red Tailed Black Cockatoos Think of all the rainbows we could lose
Real country people in their prime
Livin' in New South on Queensland time
He's a stockman likes raisin' sheep,
Likes raisin' children, don't get much sleep
On the shady big verandah with his hard workin' wife
Three young side kicks,
It's a way of life.

Настоящие деревенские жители в расцвете сил
Живут на Новом Юге по времени Квинсленда
Он скотовод, любит разводить овец,
Любит воспитывать детей, мало сплю
На тенистой большой веранде со своей трудолюбивой женой
Три молодых приятеля,
Это образ жизни.
Некоторые годы им это удается, некоторые годы они этого не делают
Иногда ручей течет, иногда нет
Иногда он злой, у него есть ружье
Когда овцы окотятся, у него бегут свиньи
В лигнуме, на реке
Вы можете потерять собаку-свинью, вы можете потерять лошадь.
Думаю, вам следует знать, что канал проходит через нее
Уничтожает кустарник и кенгуру
Жадные люди с правами на воду, чтобы нейтрализовать землю
Когда это прекратится, я просто не понимаю.
С ватой в ушах и долларами в глазах
Их банкир усмехается, и наша страна умирает.
Они любят кусты, выращивают шерсть
Они уважают землю, и она прекрасна
Синие чепчики, кожоголовые и красноспинные крапивники
Шашичные птицы, кольцевидные и водяные куры
Краснокрылые и красные Хвостатые черные какаду Подумайте обо всех радугах, которые мы можем потерять
Настоящие деревенские жители в расцвете сил
Живут на Новом Юге во времена Квинсленда
Он скотовод, любит изюмить овец,
Любит изюм ' дети, мало спите
На тенистой большой веранде со своей трудолюбивой женой
Три молодых парня,
Это образ жизни.
