a's
Rouse about stockmen and jackar oos
cockies and squatters
swaggies with nothing to lose rid
den and driven and trod these tracks
calloused their hands and
bent their backs
there's some ripper yarns to spin
if you can spare a minute of your time
Bruising the table drains
in a rugged land
Your eyes on the Gidgee,
they watch this country grow
And I reckon they'd tell some stor
ies if they could
Housewives, cooks,
mothers and daughters too
They put their hand to whatever
they had to do
From kitchen stove to a horse's back
In homestead tent and timber shack
You'll shake your head
at the tales of courage
If you stick around
Goliath's in the kitchen
Emu's on the planes
Bruising the table drains
in a rugged land
The wise in the kitchen,
they watch this country grow
And I reckon they'd tell some stories if
they could
Not too many of the old timers
still around
There's another generation
walking this dusty ground
But there's still surprises
out the back of
And it still takes sweat and
it takes hard work
And there's still some ripper yarns
If you can spare a minute of your time
Goliaths and the Geechee
Emus on the plains
Bruising the table drains
In a rugged land
Goliaths and the Geechee
They watch this country grow
And I reckon they'd tell some
stories if they could
Yeah, I reckon they'd tell some stor
ies if they could
The lies of a gucci
Hey! you
