《A Girl From The Land》歌词

[00:00:01] A GIRL FROM THE LAND

[00:00:15] Down at the local on Friday nights

[00:00:19] My neighbour Dave wanders in

[00:00:23] Sheepishly looking for company

[00:00:26] As he misses has bounced him again

[00:00:30] He drinks with the boys from his single days

[00:00:34] And life takes on a much brighter tone

[00:00:37] And Dave can't believe when it's time to leave

[00:00:41] That his wife comes to take him back home

[00:00:44] She’s the Mrs of a farmer

[00:00:48] The better half of a man

[00:00:52] Workin' the land as a family

[00:00:56] Raisin' the kids in Gippsland

[00:01:00] She's been the wife through trouble would strike

[00:01:02] Ever ready to lean a hand

[00:01:07] The backbone of the farmer

[00:01:11] A girl from the land

[00:01:17] Dave’s wife is Sue and she's local too

[00:01:20] For they've been in the district for years

[00:01:24] They work side by side it's been no easy ride

[00:01:27] But they've made it with love sweat and tears

[00:01:31] Their kids are all grown with homes of their own

[00:01:35] So each Friday Sue gets in Dave’s ear

[00:01:38] It seems like a fluke but I'm tellin' you

[00:01:42] It's just so he can have a few beers

[00:01:46] Yes the Mrs of a farmer

[00:01:49] Is the better half of a man

[00:01:54] Workin' the land as a family

[00:01:57] Raisin' the kids in Gippsland

[00:02:01] She's been the wife through trouble and strife

[00:02:05] Ever ready to lean a hand

[00:02:08] The backbone of the farmer

[00:02:10] A girl from the land

[00:02:31] Instrumental

[00:02:31] And meanwhile at home Sue's been on the phone

[00:02:34] Her girl friends will be droppin' in

[00:02:38] An' they laugh as they can about Susie’s old man

[00:02:42] As he thinks he's in trouble again

[00:02:45] The womenfolk know their men like to go

[00:02:49] For a beer with the boys now and then

[00:02:53] And the girls think its fine having tea cake and wine

[00:02:56] Til it's time to collect them again

[00:03:00] Yes the Mrs of a farmer

[00:03:03] Is the better half of a man

[00:03:08] Workin' the land as a family

[00:03:11] Raisin' the kids in Gippsland

[00:03:15] She's been the wife through trouble and strife

[00:03:18] Always ready to lean a hand

[00:03:22] The backbone of the farmer

[00:03:24] A girl from the land

[00:03:34] A girl from the land
