Gulargambone

 I wrote these lyrics in 2010 but I've never produced music for it. I don't recall any changes made.


THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE GULARGAMBONE (When It's Wet)


The river's full of life and the crops are green

The main street is filled with birds singing

When the dirt is damp in this outback town

The publican starts celebrating

He's hired a band that plays country music

Folks arrive and the bistro is near full

With a flannelet shirt and Akubra hat

Big Al reckons he's going to eat a bull


With boots on your feet

You'll look good in the street

In the town of Gulargambone

It's a rage when there's a shower

And the birds squawk on the hour

There is no town like Gulargambone


When the women get together they dress up smart

I'm impressed when all dance in a line

You can hear them chattering in the background

With only a moderate amount of wine

They too like their country music

They too like the sound of rain drops

And when ever it's wet in this little old town

The chirpy atmosphere never stops


With boots on your feet

You'll look good in the street

In the town of Gulargambone

It's a rage when there's a shower

And the birds squawk on the hour

There is no town like Gulargambone


When the music stops you can hear the bull

Sizzling in the pubs kitchen

Big Al gets served and everyone goes quiet

Al's movements gets all the attention

The music starts again and we leave the man alone

So he can digest his meal in peace

And at the end of the night when the lively pub shuts

Folks are too sober to be cheeky to Police


With boots on your feet

You'll look good in the street

In the town of Gulargambone

It's a rage when there's a shower

And the birds squawk on the hour

There is no town like Gulargambone
