Wedding Ring - John Williamson

Engaged to be married to a life on the land

In the Kurrajong shade he’s asked for your hand

And the shade disappears as he waits for your answer

There’s sheep and there’s cattle to feed

And his tears of joy flow when you answer 'yes'

You’re just what this dry country needs

City life never was easy for you

But it’s part of the journey that led you back to

A beautiful landscape to live and breathe in

With a man who is honest and true

In the place where your childhood was swept away

A perfect home-coming for you

When you wear your wedding ring

It goes round and round forever

And we wish you all the seasons of joy

In your lives together

Girls from the bush find it hard to stay

Nothing to keep them from moving away

But to you it’s as natural as autumn and springtime

You love the man and you love the life

A dream has come true for your mother

One of her daughters, a country wife

When you wear your wedding ring

It goes round and round forever

And we wish you all the seasons of joy

In your lives together

When you wear your wedding ring

It goes round and round forever

And we wish you all the seasons of joy

In your lives together
