The Wannon Will Flow On

In fancy i can hear the dark pale eyed crow Cawing on a gum tree near where old Wannon flow To the Pacific ocean in kilometers far away In the brown and bare paddocks by night and by day A waterway old in the age of the Dinosaurs and the Dreamtime The Wannon has inspired the creators of story and rhyme In those old brown paddocks in time going back centuries Australia's first people had their corroborees But in time as we know few things ever does last And corroborees by the Wannon are of the long gone past For centuries before recorded history the waterways have flowed to the ocean shore And the Wannon to the Pacific will flow forever more And in the centuries to come as in centuries long gone In the old brown country the Wannon will flow on.
