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
