歌手名 John Williamson

作曲：John Williamson

Perfectly pretty

Perfectly shy

Little girl from the dryland

Wondering why

There's no trees on the south side

To stop that howling wind

Little girl from the dryland

Only the creaky weatherboards

Painted the milky green

Keeping that scary world outside

It's banging on the windows

Blowing the washing off the line

Calling out for that little girl on the dryland

Two older brothers

Your sister and you

One little nipper

Another one due

Hiding under the homestead

When strangers come along

Father out on the wheatfield

Only the creaky weatherboards

Painted the milky green

Keeping that scary world outside

It's banging on the windows

Blowing the washing off the line

Calling out for that little girl on the dryland

You hide the whisky

But then what for

Your father is awake to you

But you are protector

And your mother always knew

You wondered why you were born

Out on a wheatfield

You know there is much more to life

Than sky and endless plains

Your father told you stories of the war

Of Singapore and Paris

And or how you long to go

But you are young

And stuck out on the dryland

Only the creaky weatherboards

Painted the milky green

Keeping that scary world outside

It's banging on the windows

Blowing the washing off the line

Calling out for that little girl on the dryland

Calling out for that little girl on the dryland

Calling out for that little girl on the dryland
