Lyrics
DADDY-O
Written by Emma Bosworth
Brothers, mates boys and men
In their slouch hats no telling when it'll end
They choked on the trail dust
They slept in the rain
True heroes were born through pain
Oh Daddy-O how we loved you so
The sounds of helicopters, and gunfire
Still echoes in their mind
That one generation that transformed our nation
They put their lives on the line
Oh Daddy-O how we loved you so
From '62 to '72
61,000 men and women fought through those wards
From '62 to '72
Us girls, we headed to Roma
In a 12-seater, down the Warrego
I met Tash, and her son Bailey
And this is a song about her Pa
Oh Daddy-O how we loved you so
