Hemming's Farm

First Sunday morning wake up and I'm all alone
Cruising to Kalgoorlie with Mick and the second shift
Paul Lenihan called you up on the telephone
But you're screaming at me for leaving you on your own

But let me tell you, honey, I don't give a damn
I'll even send you a singing telegram
To let you know how great it's gonna be
Back on Hemmant Farm again

Adelaide, train Tuesday morning and I'm feeling fine
The electric train because of booze, that's how you lose
Vietnam Vic called us into the club, lounge and bar
He said, "Listen here you pogo's, I'll show you how tough I are"

But let me tell you, honey, I don't give a damn
I'll even send you a singing telegram
To let you know how great it's gonna be
Back on Hemmant Farm again

I know, honey, I'm a way away from home
But I know how we'll get happy when we're on our own

Back home again with Francie, Clutch and you
Feeding pears, beer and pies, that's how you die
Now listen here, Spunky, it's great to be back on the farm
Just blow out the candles and roll me in your arms

The summer sun is shining over our dam
And now I'm delivering that singing telegram
That's telling you how great it is to be
Back on Hemmant Farm again
