Old Murray

Old Murray Australia's biggest river crawls silently, deep and brown
To the Pacific Ocean by Tailem Bend Town
It has been flowing southward to the ocean long before the birth of the first woman and man
The river now known as the Murray millions of centuries of time does span
On it's brown banks Australia's first people danced their corroborees
Going way back in time thousands of centuries
The dark tribes from the big brown country have long gone
But old Murray to the Pacific Ocean as ever flows on
Australia's biggest waterway this much of it we do know
Long before the birth of the first dinosaur southward it did flow
The river that has inspired story and song
To the dawn of pre history old Murray belong
On by Tailem Bend near the end of it's journey to the Pacific shore
The Murray has flowed forever and will forever more.
