Lyrics Cattle And Cane - Jimmy Little

Well I recall a schoolboy walking home
Through fields of cane,
To a house of tin and timber
And in the sky,
A rain of falling cinders
From time to time the waste, memory wastes

And I recall,
A boy in bigger pants
Like everyone,
Just waiting for a chance
His father's watch,
He left it in the shower
From time to time the waste, memory wastes
And the waste, memory wastes

La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la

La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la

I recall,
A bigger brighter world
A world of books,
Of silent times in thought
And then the railway,
The railway takes me home
Through fields of cattle,
Through fields of cane

From time to time the waste, memory wastes
And the waste, memory-wastes

La la la

(Instrumental)

I recall the same,
A reply,
A plan you once had,
From time down to mind
The time was bad,
So I knew where I was,
Alone,
So at home

La la la
Mhm
La la la
Mhm
