I'm just an Aussie Balladeer I've been on the road for many a year I'll have a joke and I'll have a beer But I'm happiest when I'm singing I'll take you where the Dingoes howl Way beyond the Mallee Fowl Beyond the plover and stubble quail Where the Mulga sticks are ringing Where the shimmer slows you down And you'll find the time to dream To open up your heart To the beauty of the land Park the truck at a shady spot Find some gidgee and boil the pot Take it easy, it's not so hot If you think of Mataranka And take someone to hold you tight The earth will keep you warm at night You've never seen the stars so bright Follow the map with your fingers Where the shimmer slows you down And you'll find the time to dream To open up your heart To the spirit of the land
