《Mallee Boy》歌词

[00:00:01] Well I've ripped and dug out burrows on a sandy bulloak hill

[00:00:05] Eradicating rabbits doesn't take a lot of skill

[00:00:07] But a boy born in the Mallee doesn't find 'em hard to kill

[00:00:14] No self-respecting farmer lets a rodent eat his wheat

[00:00:17] He'll shoot 'em and he'll skin 'em and he'll dress 'em up to eat

[00:00:21] But since the spread of mixo He's almost got 'em beat

[00:00:27] And I don't mind at all if you call me a Mallee boy

[00:00:35] Where little town dogs howl at the morning train

[00:00:38] Where a cocky makes a living on twelve inches of rain

[00:00:41] Where his woman provides and is rare to complain

[00:00:48] And I still love the smell of that sandy soil

[00:00:52] Some say it's dusty some say it's gold

[00:00:55] Cause it grows the sweetest fat lambs the markets ever sold

[00:01:01] And I don't mind at all if you call me a Mallee Boy

[00:01:18] No I don't mind at all if you call me a Mallee Boy

[00:01:25] Where you can lose an ear on duck opening day

[00:01:29] Where slickers bring their shotguns from miles away

[00:01:32] And shoot the life out of shags and swans that fly their way

[00:01:38] Where a bloke grows as stocky as a Mallee bull

[00:01:42] Where they come from miles around to see the tractor pull

[00:01:45] When the paddocks are clean and seed silos are full

[00:01:52] And I don't mind at all if you call me a Mallee Boy

[00:02:06] Well I've ripped and dug out burrows on a sandy bulloak hill

[00:02:09] Eradicating rabbits doesn't take a lot of skill

[00:02:13] And a boy born in the Mallee doesn't find 'em hard to kill

[00:02:19] But they'll never be as rare as a Quandong tree

[00:02:23] My grandma made some jam for my brothers and me

[00:02:27] They're like the Mallee Fowl you hardly ever see

[00:02:31] But I don't mind at all if you call me a Mallee Boy

[00:02:40] No I don't mind at all if you call me a Mallee Boy

[00:02:57] No I don't mind at all if you call me a Mallee Boy
