Lyrics
Blacksoil plains were grey soil, grey soil in the drought
Fifteen years away, and five hundred miles out
Swag and bag and billy carried all our care
Before we were married, and I wish that I were there
River banks were grassy, grassy in the bends
Running through the land where mateship never ends
We belled the lazy fishing lines and droned the time away
Before we were married, and I wish it were to-day
(Before we were married, and I wish it were to-day)
Working down the telegraph, winters gales and rains
Cross the tumbled scenery of Marlborough plains,
Beach and bluff and cook's tent, and the cook was a cow
Before we were married, but I wish that it was now.
The rolling road to Melbourne, and grey-eyed girl in fur
One arm to a stanchion, and one round her
Seat abaft the skylight when the moon had set
Before she was married, and I wish it wasn't yet
(Before she was married, and I wish it wasn't yet)
