Queensland Joe

His hair is as dark as the wing of a crow
The man from the place where the sugar cane grow
Tall and broad shouldered of chestnut brown eyes and a sun bronzed handsome smiling face
In the big southern City one who seems out of place
Joe the twenty three years old tropical Queensland cane cutter of his home ground far south
In Melbourne the big City lifestyle he is learning about
Working on a big City building site to him something new
Former cane cutters doing this sort of work to say the least few
But in Melbourne he says his will be a brief stay
As the wander bug in him for Lands far away
In the big World out there so much for to see
For a young active man who has just turned twenty three
His venture down south has brought changes in life for Joe
He was cutting cane in North Queensland just eight months ago.
