I want to go back to the bush
Way way out west
Down by a creek in a valley
As summer is fading is best
The creek full to overflowing
Every year the same
The trees a living canopy
Shelter from the winters rain
The cattle scattered across the land
Catch them if you can
The rising creek blocks your path
Try another plan
I want to go back to the bush
Way way out west
Down by a creek in a valley
As summer is fading is best
The southerlies are blowing now
The leaves begin to fall
The warnings are in the air
As the storm birds start their call
The drovers are all settled in
Their dogs on holiday
The barn their new sanctuary
As the clouds roll in so grey
in
I want to go back to the bush
Way way out west
Down by a creek in a valley
As summer is fading is best
