Golden Days Gone-By
It was good to hear you laugh again
When i called you on the phone
For it took me back to days gone by
When the bushland was our home.
The bush became our homestead
It mothered us as well
And we would laugh each day away
Till the years began to tell.
Remember the station truck we bogged
In the middle of the night?
When you stepped in a muddy hole
And s...

OLD TREE
You gave to me your very best old tree
Since the day i planted you
The drought has knocked you round a bit
You managed to pull through
The local kids come and swing
Upon your gnarled old limbs
A Gospel Country Group would arrive
On sunday to sing hymns
We had lots of cook out Barbeques in your
Deep shade old friend
With steak and eggs and sausages
All pil...

THE CAMP COOK
I made myself a dumper
Then it began to rain
Of course it put my fire out
So i had to start again
The rain it kept on falling
My dumper turned out soggy
I tipped it out upon the ground
And give it to my doggy...

FEELING DOWN
Lately I've been feeling down
I haven't worn my crown
My head holds high
My heart sink low
Ever since she left.
She has a new girl
A perfect girl
Better than me
I dont know what to do.
That girl took my crown.

THE FRUIT GROWER'S LAMENT
I thought I'd be an orchardist
They all say "Fresh is the Best"
So I bought myself two acres
In the Heart of South.
I planted watermelons
And lots of other stuff
And me of the impatient Kind
They went in rather rough.
I thought then if I worked real hard
One day I could relax
And being primary producer,
Well - it would cut down on my tax.
My avoca...

MY MOUSE
I live on two acres in a big white house
But you see I'm never lonely
Because I have my mouse
He runs across the lounge room floor
While I'm watching telly
Straight into the kitchen
Then to fill his little belly
Sometimes he'll stand on his hind legs
I guess it's just to show me
It's just to show he knows me
I don't know where he really lives
Or wh...

MY CAMPFIRE GUITAR
My friend thinks that I'm a nut,
That this time I've gone too far,
You see I'm pushing twenty seven now,
And I've bought a new guitar.
It's not a real expensive brand,
Like Martin, that's for sure.
"Made in Korea" I think it reads,
In some little town obscure.
The other guitar i had,
Well - I buried it today.
A heavy tool box fell on it,
on a rough track.
