My Diamond

Teach me how to drive a straight plough line dad
Strong cuppa tea and clean an old chop bone down
Hang a fat lamb full of mali from the Bullard tree
Kids stretching guts blue dog shining from the feast

Teach me how to drive and keep it on the track
Bloody good crop, we better stitch another wheat bag
And bring a fist down on the table 'cause something's not right
And if you put your hand in and tug a snake out, you're gonna get a bite

And if I live all my life
I'll never know all you know
And when it comes my time
Take care of my diamond

Build a raft float her down the river in a big old dry
Oh, it'll take your mind off the red dust weighing on your mind
Kid n' cousins running scared and chasing roos hanging on
Toffee wipe on a slide mounting 'til the billabong
Prop it up, twitch a wire, teach me how a motor fires
And teach me how to cry when a useless dog dies

Say woman with almighty love put her on a pedestal
Oh, oh, teach me how to pray for rain, just a little spiritual

And if I live all my life
I'll never know all you know
And when it comes my time
Take care of my diamond, oh
Take care of my diamond, oh

Teach me how to plough dad nice and straight
Saw a cattle mark glands and then we all say grace
Teach me how to kick a footy straight and long
How to hear the music the melody the day your song

And if I live all my life
I'll never know all you know
And when it comes my time
And if I live all my life
I'll never know all you know
And when it comes my time
Take care of my diamond, oh
Take care of my diamond, oh
Oh, take care of my diamond, oh
