A GIRL FROM THE LAND[00:00:01]
Down at the local on Friday nights[00:00:15]
My neighbour Dave wanders in [00:00:19]
Sheepishly looking for company [00:00:23]
As he misses has bounced him again [00:00:26]
He drinks with the boys from his single days[00:00:30]
And life takes on a much brighter tone [00:00:34]
And Dave can't believe when it's time to leave [00:00:37]
That his wife comes to take him back home [00:00:41]
She’s the Mrs of a farmer [00:00:44]
The better half of a man [00:00:48]
Workin' the land as a family [00:00:52]
Raisin' the kids in Gippsland [00:00:56]
She's been the wife through trouble would strike[00:01:00]
Ever ready to lean a hand [00:01:02]
The backbone of the farmer [00:01:07]
A girl from the land [00:01:11]
Dave’s wife is Sue and she's local too[00:01:17]
For they've been in the district for years [00:01:20]
They work side by side it's been no easy ride [00:01:24]
But they've made it with love sweat and tears[00:01:27]
Their kids are all grown with homes of their own[00:01:31]
So each Friday Sue gets in Dave’s ear[00:01:35]
It seems like a fluke but I'm tellin' you[00:01:38]
It's just so he can have a few beers [00:01:42]
Yes the Mrs of a farmer [00:01:46]
Is the better half of a man [00:01:49]
Workin' the land as a family [00:01:54]
Raisin' the kids in Gippsland [00:01:57]
She's been the wife through trouble and strife[00:02:01]
Ever ready to lean a hand [00:02:05]
The backbone of the farmer [00:02:08]
A girl from the land [00:02:10]
Instrumental[00:02:31]
And meanwhile at home Sue's been on the phone [00:02:31]
Her girl friends will be droppin' in [00:02:34]
An' they laugh as they can about Susie’s old man [00:02:38]
As he thinks he's in trouble again [00:02:42]
The womenfolk know their men like to go[00:02:45]
For a beer with the boys now and then [00:02:49]
And the girls think its fine having tea cake and wine[00:02:53]
Til it's time to collect them again [00:02:56]
Yes the Mrs of a farmer [00:03:00]
Is the better half of a man [00:03:03]
Workin' the land as a family [00:03:08]
Raisin' the kids in Gippsland [00:03:11]
She's been the wife through trouble and strife [00:03:15]
Always ready to lean a hand [00:03:18]
The backbone of the farmer [00:03:22]
A girl from the land [00:03:24]
A girl from the land[00:03:34]
