colin buchanan – galahs in the gidgee lyrics
[intrumental]
[verse 1]
shearers rouse about stockmen and jackaroos
c+ckies and swatters, swaggies with nothing to lose
ridden 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
[chorus]
galahs in the gidgee
emus on the plains
roos in the table drains
in a rugged land
galahs in the gidgee
they watch this country grow
and i’d reckon they’d tell some stories if they could
[verse 2]
housewives, cooks, mothers and daughters too
they put their hand to whatеver they had to do
from kitchen stovе 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
[chorus]
galahs in the gidgee
emus on the plains
roos in the table drains
in a rugged land
galahs in the gidgee
they watch this country grow
and i’d reckon they’d tell some stories if they could
[verse 3]
not too many of the old+timers still around
there’s another generation walking this dusty ground
a+but there’s still surprises out the back of bourke
and it still takes sweat and it still takes work
and there’s still some ripper yarns if you can spare
a minute of your time
[chorus]
galahs in the gidgee
emus on the plains
roos in the table drains
in a rugged land
galahs in the gidgee
they watch this country grow
and i’d reckon they’d tell some stories if they could, yeah
i’d reckon they’d tell some stories if they could
galahs in the gidgee
hey!
