Woman on the Land - John Williamson
She's my mother she's my aunty
She is many that I've known
The backbone of the bush
Where country kids have grown
She's raised and she's nurtured those children of her own
While her man does his battles on the land
And he comes in from the shearing
Still aching in the back
The kids are finally tucked away
Her days are never slack
But she makes it look so easy
As she cooks him up a storm
That unselfish unsung hero of the land
She's keeping books she's nursing
Raising money for the town
She's the last one standing
When all is falling down
Ferocious as a tiger to defend her little clan
My hero the woman on the land
So I propose a toast to the mothers that we know
Proud to be the better half who really run the show
And if you shed a tear boys I will understand
To our hero the woman on the land
And he comes in from the harvest
A disappointing yield
He's tired and he's dusty
Twelve hours in the field
And although her day's been difficult
She greets him with a smile
That unselfish unsung hero of the land
So I propose a toast
To the mothers that we know
Proud to be the better half
Who really run the show
And if you shed a tear boys
I will understand
To our hero the woman on the land
To our hero the woman on the land
