Well I've ripped and dug out burrows on a sandy bulloak hill [00:00:01]
Eradicating rabbits doesn't take a lot of skill[00:00:05]
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 He's almost got 'em beat[00:00:21]
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 [00:00:35]
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 [00:01:29]
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 [00:02:09]
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 [00:02:31]
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]
