Luke O'shea - Lady Of The Land lyrics

rate me

I am the lady of the land

I’ve been there and back again

Been down some long and winding roads

But with him I was always home

My father was a teacher man

My mother help Mary Magdalene

But with my sister we would go

Sing our songs in a travelling show

With the stars in our eyes and the songs in our hearts

On a melody trail were a love did start

I met up with the fella who was wild and free

A twisted branch on the family tree

But now the fun had just begun

When we wed in fifty one

Well there was laughter there were trials

As we walked that country mile

Well round and round and round we'd go

Singing to the faces sitting in the front row

Rodeos, festivals and old town halls

Driving down the roads we'd never been before

In caravans and motels moving on

When we have the children they came along

And we sang about the people and we sang about the land

So people in the cities they could understand

How much we love this country, how I love It still

We traveled so far and I always will

And in the summer of seventy three

The first guitar they gave to me

I never knew just how far I'd roam

From where the Frangipanis grow

They call me the grand lady of the land

I’ve been there and back again

Been down some long and winding roads

But with him I was always home

I’ve been down long and winding roads

But with Slim I was always home
