Cotton Fields
Verse 1
Well I am a greedy farmer
I stole all the Darlings water
In them ole cotton fields out west
I was out near Wilcannia
About a mile from the river
In them ole cotton fields out west
Chorus
When the river gets low
And it aint got no flow
In them ole cotton fields out west
It aint my problem the river is rotten
Water I stole soon forgotten
In them ole cotton fields out west
Verse 2
Now it may sound funny
But I make obscene amounts of money
In them ole cotton fields out west
It was in Canberra
Barnaby said I will protect ya
In them ole cotton fields out west
Chorus
When the river gets low
And it aint got no flow
In them ole cotton fields out west
It aint my problem the river is rotten
Water I stole soon forgotten
In them ole cotton fields out west
Verse 3
Lets blame the drought
They will never work it out
In them ole cotton fields out west
So what a few dead fish
When I am filthy rich
In them ole cotton fields out west
Chorus
When the river gets low
And it aint got no flow
In them ole cotton fields out west
It aint my problem the river is rotten
Water I stole soon forgotten
In them ole cotton fields out west
