Mallee Boy - John Williamson[00:00:00]

Written by：John Williamson[00:00:00]

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

Eradicating rabbits doesn't take a lot of skill[00:00:04]

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

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

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

But since the spread of mixo[00:00:21]

He's almost got 'em beat[00:00:23]

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

Where little town dogs howl at the morning train[00:00:34]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Where slickers bring their shotguns from miles away[00:01:28]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Eradicating rabbits doesn't take a lot of skill[00:02:10]

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

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

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

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

But I don't mind at all if you call me a Mallee Boy[00:02:33]

No 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]
