I see my lovely city girl

In the glow of the neon lights

That blind her from the view

Of the twinkling stars at night

And the white clouds at evening

As they drift towards the sea

Or where the breeze may take them

It’s a sight she’ll never see.

For the shadows of tall buildings

That line the city’s streets

Will always cast their shadows

Where the night girls like to meet

And the noisy crowded thoroughfares

With thousands of tramping feet

That seem to tramp on forever

Will they never ever cease?

But the dark and grimy city

Will never ever beckon me

For I love the high bush country

With nature’s beauty there to see

And when the evening sun is setting

In the blue hills of the west

I hear the night birds calling

As they waken from their rest.

So come my city sweetheart 

To a country life with me

And I’ll show you nature’s wonders

Where in the city you’ll never see

Like the dewdrops of early morning on the violets and the rose

You’d hear the call of the friendly ‘Jacko’

And see the rivers as they run.

So stay there in the city

With the blindness of your sight

And I’ll stay here in the mountains

Where I can see the stars at night

And hear the bush birds calling

Where the gum and wattle grow

But the beauty of God’s own country

Is an experience you will never know.
