|
Engaged to be married to a life on the land |
|
In the Kurrajong shade he's asked for your hand |
|
And the shade disappears as he waits for your answer |
|
there's sheep and there's cattle to feed |
|
And his tears of joy flow when you answer 'yes' |
|
you're just what this dry country needs |
|
City life never was easy for you |
|
But its part of the journey that led you back to |
|
A beautiful landscape to live and breathe in |
|
With a man who is honest and true |
|
In the place where your childhood was swept away |
|
A perfect home-coming for you |
|
Chorus |
|
When you wear your wedding ring |
|
It goes round and round forever |
|
And we wish you all the seasons of joy |
|
In your lives together |
|
Girls from the bush find it hard to stay |
|
Nothing to keep them from moving away |
|
But to you it's as natural as autumn and springtime |
|
You love the man and you love the life |
|
A dream has come true for your mother |
|
One of her daughters, a country wife |
|
Chorus |
|
Repeat Chorus |
