Vegie Bill - John Williams[00:00:00]

If you've ever been to the Kimberley[00:00:11]

Just like old Vegie Bill[00:00:14]

You'll pine and whine to get back there[00:00:16]

But he reckons he never will[00:00:19]

'Cause he's got too long in the tooth[00:00:22]

And he's taken a turn or two[00:00:24]

So his missus bought him a picture book[00:00:27]

Said That'll just have to do[00:00:30]

So I'm goin' up there for the old bloke[00:00:38]

Kunnunurra to see his mate[00:00:40]

I'll send him a card from the Fitzroy[00:00:43]

He'll show it around The Glengarry[00:00:49]

To Nifty and his wife[00:00:51]

Then he'll start all over again[00:00:54]

Reminiscing his Kimberley life[00:00:57]

He'll go on about the scenery unbelievable[00:00:59]

Nothing else comes near it in the land[00:01:05]

He said a lot of his mates were Aboriginal[00:01:11]

They took him like a brother[00:01:16]

Well he had a lot of stories[00:01:21]

But I reckon his favourite[00:01:23]

Was how his mate brought his brother home to rest[00:01:26]

Still stiff and frozen solid from the morgue[00:01:32]

And he kept the beer cartons cold on his chest[00:01:37]

Well the family couldn't come at the vegetables[00:01:44]

Or the sausages neatly wrapped around the dead[00:01:48]

So they had to dig for yam and eat goanna[00:01:53]

And hunt for wallaby instead[00:01:59]

Well Bill used to sell vegetables to the opal miners[00:02:16]

Off his humble little one-ton truck[00:02:21]

He didn't make a lot of dough[00:02:26]

But he made a heap of friends out there[00:02:28]

Where they move a thousand ton[00:02:31]

Of dirt for an ounce of luck[00:02:33]

You know I kinda feel sorry for old Bill[00:02:37]

Sipping another beer in the summer breeze[00:02:42]

He's still up there in the North in his heart and his mind[00:02:48]

Grading a gravel road in the Kimberley[00:02:54]

So if you've ever been to the Kimberley[00:02:59]

Just like old Vegie Bill[00:03:02]

You'll pine and whine to get back there[00:03:05]

But he reckons he never will[00:03:07]

'Cause he's got too long in the tooth[00:03:10]

And he's taken a turn or two[00:03:12]

So his missus bought him a picture book[00:03:15]

Said That'll just have to do[00:03:18]
