I've Been, Seen And Done That - Slim Dusty
I've seen the earth baked by the sun
Cracked and black on the Queensland run
Seen blue water and sugar cane
Smelled it's sweetness after rain
Against a blazing northern sky
I have seen the wedge tails fly
And in a winter heart and long
Heard the call of the currawong
And I've seen the Snowy Mountains high
An' I know how the mountain men can ride
And I'll always remember an' I'll be glad
That I've been I've seen an' I've done that
I've seen people come an' seen them go
Heard their laughter an' their woe
Seen them prosper seen them thrive
Seen them battle to survive
I have heard the music of this land
In it's river it's rocks and trees and sand
The click of singing sticks and didgeridoo
As dancers tell the legends old and new
And beneath the iron ranges of the west
I have walked through desert pea and spinefex
And I'll always remember an' I'll be glad
That I've been I've seen an' I've done that
By the lakes and forests tall
I've heard the Gippsland Bellbirds call
Felt the heat and terror wild
Beating back the roaring red bush fire
I've tasted the vintage of the south
Followed the Murray to its mouth
I've stood where our forebears came in chains
They'd never know their prison grim today
And where ever and how far I may go
My country is implanted in my soul
For I'll always remember an' I'll be glad
That I've been I've seen an' I've loved that
For I'll always remember an' I'll be glad
That I've been I've seen an' I've loved that
