When I was a little girl |
|
I had the biggest backyard in the world |
|
It went on for miles and miles, was wide as it was high |
|
Down to the horizon, all the way up to the sky |
|
And every now and then |
|
I heard a vile tree cry my name |
|
When I was a little girl |
|
I had the biggest backyard in the world |
|
Covered up with red dirt as far as |
|
I could see |
|
I shared it with the railway and the |
|
Aborigines |
|
Southwest of |
|
Adelaide All the way down to the sea and back |
|
When I was a little girl |
|
I had the biggest backyard in the world |
|
The sun would shine until the day |
|
I asked for it to rain |
|
Countdown the sleeps until the tea and sugar train |
|
Ten cents on the track for days |
|
Before it never came and went |
|
When I was a little girl |
|
I had the biggest backyard in the world |
|
Sitting 'round the campfire that started from a spark |
|
Rolling down the |
|
Gun Barrel |
|
Highway in the dark |
|
Making sure that |
|
I had all the room here in my house |
|
For me and all of the world |
|
When I was a little girl |
|
I had the biggest backyard in the world |
