In The Paddocks Of Illowa

In the paddocks of Illowa in the prime of the Fall
The magpies are warbling and the pee wees do call
And in April in Illowa many a blustery day
And less of sunshine and more of windy and rainy weather to follow in May
A windy place Illowa of not many trees
For to break some of the force of the strong coastal breeze
That often howls inland from the Pacific Shore
At speeds of one hundred kilometers or more
Though the paddocks looking greener after recent rain
The farmers of a poor financial Season complain
Feeding their cattle hay and the Winter is near
And the potato crops poor for them it has not been a good year
But hope as is said is an amazing thing
And for the Illowa farmers it may be a good Spring.
