From This High Paddock In Belgrave South

From high paddock in Belgrave south at twilight of the day I heard the kookaburras on gums not far away I heard them laughing in the wood and their laughter sounded shrill In the calm of the evening as darkness enveloped the hill. And I thought of my old Jedder memories of her with me stay She and I often climbed up here in a not too distant day And though she only was a canine and a dog only a dog some well might say I still miss her and think of her though she now rests far away From this high paddock in South Belgrave where up to four years ago She would dropp the stick at my feet the stick for her that I did throw And then she'd bark and wag her tail as if to ask for a repeat And each time I'd throw the stick she'd bring it back and dropp it at my feet On this high paddock in Belgrave south darkness gathering all around And the kookaburras laughter in the wood nearby resound And I thought of my old Jedder she loved this place as much as I And the memories of the good times will be with me till I die.
