Yesterdays Engines
This goes back to 2011 when I was living in the Nambucca Valley.
YESTERDAYS ENGINES
When the Rusty Iron Rally begins
The folks of Macksville change gears
To welcome machinery
with a few ginger beers
Yesterdays engines rev
To satisfy a Diesel Lair
It happens only once a year
and they put fireworks in the air
Pistons, rings and bearings grind
With rhythm that turns on Fred
A tap washes his hands
To impress a woman dressed in red
Yesterdays engines rev
And blow smoke everywhere
Occupational Safety blokes
Loosing all their hair
Overalls stained in oil and grease
Boots stink of cows done
Commentator hogs the P.A.
Having truck loads of fun
Yesterdays engines rev
Rubber smells of wear
Love the little old tractor
That splashes mud on the Mayor
