LYRICS:
They came to the Mallee four generations ago
From a land where they spent every winter buried in snow
They laboured and toiled; they nurtured the soil
They started to prosper and grow
Yes, they came to the Mallee four generations ago
The farm continued to flourish down through the years
Seems the Great Depression didn't cause too many tears
The nation grew sleek on the backs of their sheep
How they loved the click of the shears!
The farm continued to flourish down through the years
8-bar break
The days of plenty are now just dim memory
The land's in the grip of a drought; it cannot break free
They sow but don't reap; the last of the sheep
Are put out of their misery
Yes, the days of plenty are now just dim memory
There's a dry dusty bed where a mighty river once flowed
So the farmer can't pay to the bank the money that's owed
Inexplicably, a car hits a tree –
seems like it never slowed
And there's another black stick out there on the side of the road
And there's another black stick out there on the side of the road
