Engaged to be married to a life on the land In the Kurrajong shade he's asked for your hand And the shade disappears as he waits for your answer There's sheep and there's cattle to feed And his tears of joy flow when you answer 'yes' You're just what this dry country needs City life never was easy for you But it's part of the journey that led you back to A beautiful landscape to live and breathe in With a man who is honest and true In the place where your childhood was swept away A perfect home-coming for you [Chorus:] When you wear your wedding ring It goes round and round forever
And we wish you all the seasons of joy In your lives together Girls from the bush find it hard to stay Nothing to keep them from moving away But to you it's as natural as autumn and springtime You love the man and you love the life A dream has come true for your mother One of her daughters, a country wife [Chorus:] When you wear your wedding ring It goes round and round forever And we wish you all the seasons of joy In your lives together [Chorus:] When you wear your wedding ring It goes round and round forever And we wish you all the seasons of joy In your lives together
