gary shearston - reedy river كلمات أغنية

ten miles down reedy river one sunday afternoon
i rode with mary campbell to that broad, bright lagoon
we left our horses grazing till shadows climbed the peak
and strolled beneath the sheoaks on the banks of rocky creek

then home along the river, that night we rode a race
and the moonlight lent a glory to mary campbell’s face
i pleaded for our future all through that moonlight ride
until our weary horses drew closer side by side

ten miles from ryan’s crossing and five below the peak
i built a little homestead on the banks of rocky creek
i cleared the land and fenced it, and ploughed the rich, red loam
and my first crop was golden when i brought my mary home

now still down reedy river, the grassy sheoaks sigh
the water_holes still mirror the pictures in the sky
the golden sand is drifting across the rocky bars
and over all for ever go sun and moon and stars

but of that hut i builded, there are no traces now
and many rains have levelled the furrows of my plough
the glad, bright days have vanished, for sombre branches wave
their wattle blossom golden above my mary’s grave

- gary shearston
