South West Tasmania, 4am at Noyhener Beach as a thunderstorm approachesTasadam
Tune: Wouldn't it be loverly?
All I want is to go south-west,That's the country that I like best,And come home for a rest.Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Lots of freeze dry for me to eat,Lots of mud and lots of sleet,Cold hands, cold bum, cold feet,Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
Oh, so loverly sitting'Abso-blooming-lutely still.While the rain and wind and snowCome over the nearby hill.
Someone's gear diggin' in my knee,Tent as cramped as it can be,With nowhere I can flee.Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly.
A trad song.
