It's A Way Of Life - John Williams[00:00:00]
Real country people in their prime [00:00:16]
Livin' in new south on queensland time[00:00:20]
He's a stockman [00:00:24]
Likes raisin' sheep [00:00:25]
Likes raisin' children [00:00:28]
Don't get much sleep[00:00:29]
On the shady big verandah [00:00:31]
With his hardworking wife [00:00:33]
Three young sidekicks [00:00:36]
It's a way of life [00:00:37]
Some years they make it [00:00:47]
Some years they don't[00:00:49]
Sometimes the creek flows [00:00:51]
Sometimes it won't[00:00:53]
Sometimes he's mean [00:00:55]
He's got a gun[00:00:57]
When the ewes are lambing[00:00:58]
He's got pigs on the run[00:01:00]
Out in the lignum [00:01:03]
On the water course[00:01:05]
You could lose a pig dog [00:01:07]
You could lose a horse [00:01:09]
Think you oughta know the channel's coming through[00:01:26]
Wipin' out the bushland and the kangaroo[00:01:30]
Greedy men with water rights[00:01:34]
To neutralise the land[00:01:36]
When's it gonna stop[00:01:38]
I just don't understand [00:01:39]
With cotton in their ears[00:01:41]
And dollars in their eyes[00:01:43]
Their banker grins and our country dies [00:01:45]
They love the bush [00:02:20]
They grow the wool[00:02:22]
They respect the land and it's beautiful[00:02:24]
Blue bonnets [00:02:28]
Leatherheads and red back wrens[00:02:29]
Bower birds ring necks and water hens[00:02:32]
Red wings and red tailed black cockatoos[00:02:36]
Think of all the rainbows we could lose[00:02:40]
Real country people in their prime[00:02:52]
Livin' in new south on queensland time[00:02:56]
He's a stockman likes raisin' sheep [00:02:59]
Likes raisin' children [00:03:03]
Don't get much sleep[00:03:05]
On the shady big verandah[00:03:06]
With his hard workin' wife[00:03:08]
Three young side kicks [00:03:11]
It's a way of life[00:03:12]
