The Farming Game - John Williams[00:00:00]

Winter time dad came home[00:00:00]

Dirty diesel and rust[00:00:04]

Pearly whites like diamonds[00:00:08]

Smiling through the dust[00:00:11]

Yummy mutton and pumking[00:00:15]

For a hungry gutted crew[00:00:18]

We knew mum loved us all to death[00:00:22]

And we all loved her too[00:00:25]

Well I couldn't wait to walk in my old man's shoes[00:00:30]

And what more could I ask[00:00:34]

To head off with my biscuit tin[00:00:38]

Black tea in a thermos flask[00:00:41]

To learn to plough a real straight line[00:00:45]

And learn to be alone[00:00:48]

In ever diminishing circles[00:00:52]

Solve problems on my own[00:00:55]

Now it's considered normal[00:01:02]

To pass your acres down[00:01:06]

But if you've got more children[00:01:09]

Well you try to buy more ground[00:01:12]

So you borrow heaps of money[00:01:16]

Just to give your kids a go[00:01:19]

After all that's said and done[00:01:23]

You taught them all you know[00:01:29]

After all that's said and done[00:01:54]

You taught them all you know[00:02:00]

Now there were days we nearly sold[00:02:03]

With frost and then a drought[00:02:06]

Easier ways to make a quid[00:02:10]

Would sort the young ones out[00:02:13]

They say it builds your character[00:02:17]

Good women and good men[00:02:20]

Who turn around when the crop has failed[00:02:24]

And sow it all again[00:02:27]

So hold on tight you cockies[00:02:31]

I know the feeling well[00:02:34]

If you couldn't save the family farm[00:02:38]

Then you'd rather go to hell[00:02:41]

No one will share your burden[00:02:44]

No one will share the blame[00:02:48]

And my heart goes out to the families[00:02:51]

Of the farming game[00:02:55]

Yes my heart goes out to the families[00:03:05]

Of the farming game[00:03:09]
