The Old Merri River Is So Old In Time

In and out of Lake Pertobe it slowly winds it's way And then on to the ocean close to Lady Bay The waterway that has inspired story and rhyme The old Merri River is so old in time Many centuries before the first people to Australia came And long before it was called The Merri by name And long even before there was Warrnambol Town The old winding river it babbled on down To flow into saltwater at the Pacifc Shore It has flowed forever and will flow forever more Many people like the Seasons have come and have gone But the old Merri River forever flows on In and out of Lake Pertobe it slowly winds it's way And on to the ocean close to Lady Bay.
