I'm a singer from down under and it isn't any wonder That I like a can or two of tooheys old I've sung my way about, from the bush to the opera House And tomorrows just another town to show Bush ballads are my life oh I sing em all the time Stories of our people and our land Spent a lot of time at home, cause I was country born And it's helped me such a lot to understand Hey I'm a singer from down under on the move Oh I like the life I'm livin given under skies of blue May the Southern Cross in freedom ever shine My song is for Australia every time I was never really lazy, but the neighbours thought me Crazy Cause I dreamed about a life of travellin round A dream that made me move, seemed the natural thing to Do So at twenty one I finally left the land Some said twas rather risky but I married in the Fifties And in 1954 we hit the road We went out for a 3 month trial, but that cagin Country mile Has forever since just kept us on the go Hey I'm a singer from down under on the move Oh I like the life I'm livin given under skies of blue May the Southern Cross in freedom ever shine My song is for Australia every time, my friends My song is for Australia every time.
