The Dark Moyne

By the Town of Port Fairy as ever it does flow On towards the Pacific at Griffith Island it crawls deep, dark and slow The river known as the Moyne that has inspired song, story and rhyme That will flow on forever through the centuries of time Long before there was a Town known as Port Fairy going back the centuries On warm Summer evening in the shade of the trees In weather temperatures over the thirty degrees Australia's first people had their corroborees To the music of their didgeridoos they no longer dance and sing What a change a few centuries with it does bring Time with it brings changes life is this way No corroborees in Port Fairy today But then some things in time do not change at all The dark and deep Moyne to the ocean slowly and silently crawl.
