Thargomindah (The Way It Is) (萨戈明达(就是如此)) - John Williamson[00:00:00]
Written by:John Williamson[00:00:03]
Don't think about the hours[00:00:06]
Goin' round and round[00:00:09]
About the cost of fuel[00:00:12]
The seed you've planted in the ground[00:00:14]
It'll send you crazy[00:00:19]
Belt your head against the wall[00:00:21]
And question why you're in the game at all[00:00:25]
Yeah you wait two years for decent rain[00:00:30]
To save a thirsty crop[00:00:34]
And now it goin' yellow[00:00:37]
Cause the bloody rain won't stop[00:00:40]
But that's the way it is[00:00:43]
Where inland rivers flow[00:00:46]
An irony that real bush people know[00:00:50]
But the folks in Thargomindah[00:00:55]
Haven't seen the grass so tall[00:00:58]
It's an ill wind that blows no good[00:01:02]
The rain can't please us all[00:01:05]
No complaints in Thargomindah[00:01:08]
Or out Wanaaring way[00:01:11]
Smiles all 'round in Gidgieland today[00:01:14]
And you're thinkin' here we go again[00:01:26]
With a bucket and a mop[00:01:29]
It's been fifteen years[00:01:33]
Since the food went through your shop[00:01:36]
And it's an act of God[00:01:39]
So insurance doesn't pay[00:01:42]
You turn around and start again today[00:01:45]
Wihile a mob of hungry Brahmans[00:01:51]
Spread to let us through[00:01:55]
If they could speak[00:01:58]
I'm sure they'd say[00:01:59]
All's well on old Barcoo[00:02:00]
When they reach Windorah[00:02:04]
Fat enough to sell[00:02:07]
The cattleman will treat his drovers well[00:02:10]
Yeah you wait two years for decent rain[00:02:29]
To save a thirsty crop[00:02:32]
And now it goin' yellow[00:02:35]
Cause the bloody rain won't stop[00:02:38]
But that's the way it is[00:02:42]
Where inland rivers flow[00:02:44]
An irony that real bush people know[00:02:48]
But the folks in Thargomindah[00:02:54]
Haven't seen the grass so tall[00:02:57]
It's an ill wind that blows no good[00:03:00]
The rain can't please us all[00:03:03]
No complaints in Thargomindah[00:03:06]
Or out Wanaaring way[00:03:09]
Smiles all 'round in Gidgieland today[00:03:12]
Yeah there's no complaints in Gidgieland today[00:03:18]
