Back to the Farm

Publication: Melbourne Herald
Date: 02 October 1922

The Melbourne Show is over, and it's
    time again for me.
I've seen the pigs, I've seen the
    sheep, and they were good to see;
I've seen the farm machinery and
    harvesters and ploughs,
I've seen the horses and the fowls.
The bullocks and the cows
I like a little change of scene
just once or twice a year
And now I'm going home again, It
would be dreary here.

And when I get back home, you ask
    me what is there then to see?
Why, there are pigs and there are
sheep that's good enough for me;
There's plenty farm machines, both
    harvesters and ploughs,
There'll be the horses and the fowls,
    the bullocks and the cows,
I've seen enough of city shows
the whole week there I've been.

And now I'm going home again;
I want a change of scene.
