lyrics
The Big Dry Julie Richards
V1:
Red dust plains, cattle & flies
Dry rivers beds, frustrated she cries
livestock is starving, there’s no way to save them
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
V2:
Cracked salt plains, ragged outback
desperate & lonely, there’s no getting back
The dams are empty, the business closed
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
V3:
Dry dust bowl, will break your soul
A crippled land will break your home
She cries for the suffering, he cries for the loss
Only an Aussie, could bear this bastard toll
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
Chorus:
How hard has it been, Just to get by
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
This bastard of a place
will break your heart, rip it from your chest
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
V3:
Generations past, have stood the test
It could be last, when there’s nothing but death
They have asked for help & it’s time to pay
Cause only an Aussie, could love this bloody place
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
This bastard of a place
will break your heart, rip it from your chest
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
It’s hard on the land in the big dry
