Testo Aussie Balladeer

I'm just an Aussie Balladeer
I've been on the road for many a year
I'll have a joke and I'll have a beer
But I'm happiest when I'm singing

I'll take you where the Dingoes howl
Way beyond the Mallee Fowl
Beyond the plover and stubble quail Where the Mulga sticks are ringing

Where the shimmer slows you down
And you'll find the time to dream
To open up your heart
To the beauty of the land

Park the truck at a shady spot
Find some gidgee and boil the pot
Take it easy, it's not so hot
If you think of Mataranka

And take someone to hold you tight
The earth will keep you warm at night
You've never seen the stars so bright Follow the map with your fingers

Where the shimmer slows you down
And you'll find the time to dream
To open up your heart
To the spirit of the land
