I'm just an Aussie Balladeer
I've been on the road for many a year
I'll have a joke and I'll have a beer
But I'm happiest when I'm singing
I'll take you where the Dingoes howl
Way beyond the Mallee Fowl
Beyond the plover and stubble quail
Where the Mulga sticks are ringing
Where the shimmer slows you down
And you'll find the time to dream
To open up your heart
To the beauty of the land
Park the truck at a shady spot
Find some gidgee and boil the pot
Take it easy, it's not so hot
If you think of Mataranka
And take someone to hold you tight
The earth will keep you warm at night
You've never seen the stars so bright
Follow the map with your fingers
Where the shimmer slows you down
And you'll find the time to dream
To open up your heart
To the spirit of the land
The lyrics AUSSIE BALLADEER of JOHN WILLIAMSON is also present in the album His favourite collection (2016)

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
