Between Terang And Warrnambool

The tiny frogs are singing in the watery paddock drain
How green this countryside looks after October rain
Between Terang and Warrnambool the paddocks flat and green
With dairy cows and beef steers and heifers in plenty to be seen
And Spring in South West Victoria a lovely time of year
The sweet voice of the blackbird melodious and clear
And the flute like notes of the magpie none ever could mistake
In late Winter and early Spring  he even sings at night in the dark before daybreak
And in the parks and paddocks the mudlarks sing pee wee
The birds who build a cup shaped nest of mud on fork of branch of tree
October in South West Victoria in a grand old countryside
Stands of pine, gums and cypress in lush green paddocks for miles stretching far and wide
On an evening in October by drizzling rain made cool
In the quietness of the evening between Terang and Warrnambool.
