Things I See Around Me - Slim Dusty

Written by：Slim Dusty/Ernie Constance

I sing about the things I see around me

The beauty of Australia that surrounds me

I sing you songs about this sunburnt land

Specially for the ones who understand

I sing about the people that I know

And a song about the places where I go

When I sing about beauty that astounds me

Oh I'm just singing 'bout things I see around me

I sing about a ringer they call trumb

How a man from snowy river wheeled the brumby

I sing of towns a thousand miles from here

And the poor old pub that ran right out of beer

Oh I sing about the folk who battle drought

In that hard dry country further out

When I sing about their courage that astounds me

Oh I'm just singing 'bout oh I see around me yeah

I sing about the old retired drover

And the transport men whose trucking days are over

I sing about folk of the golden mile

And the people who are living anthill style

I sing about the hardships and the strife

The battling men must suffer in this life

When I tell you all the stories that astound you

I'm just talking 'bout hope you see around you

I sing about things I see around me

The beauty of Australia that surrounds me

I sing you songs about this sunburnt land

Specially for the ones who understand

I sing about the people that I know

And a song about the places where I go

When I sing about the beauty that astounds me

Oh I'm just singing 'bout things I see around me

Oh I'm just singing 'bout things I see around me yeah
