Woman On The Land - John Williams[00:00:00]
She's my mother she's my aunty[00:00:06]
She is many that I've known[00:00:09]
The backbone of the bush[00:00:13]
Where country kids have grown[00:00:15]
She's raised and she's nurtured those children of her own[00:00:18]
While her man does his battles on the land[00:00:24]
And he comes in from the shearing[00:00:29]
Still aching in the back[00:00:32]
The kids are finally tucked away[00:00:35]
Her days are never slack[00:00:38]
But she makes it look so easy[00:00:41]
As she cooks him up a storm[00:00:43]
That unselfish unsung hero of the land [00:00:46]
She's keeping books she's nursing[00:00:58]
Raising money for the town [00:01:00]
She's the last one standing[00:01:03]
When all is falling down [00:01:06]
Ferocious as a tiger to defend her little clan[00:01:09]
My hero the woman on the land [00:01:14]
So I propose a toast to the mothers that we know[00:01:20]
Proud to be the better half who really run the show[00:01:26]
And if you shed a tear boys I will understand[00:01:31]
To our hero the woman on the land[00:01:37]
And he comes in from the harvest[00:01:54]
A disappointing yield[00:01:57]
He's tired and he's dusty[00:02:00]
Twelve hours in the field[00:02:02]
And although her day's been difficult[00:02:05]
She greets him with a smile[00:02:08]
That unselfish unsung hero of the land[00:02:11]
So I propose a toast[00:02:17]
To the mothers that we know[00:02:20]
Proud to be the better half[00:02:23]
Who really run the show[00:02:25]
And if you shed a tear boys[00:02:28]
I will understand[00:02:31]
To our hero the woman on the land[00:02:34]
To our hero the woman on the land[00:02:45]
