A Mighty Big River

We used to have a mighty big river
There a poet named banjo who wrote a legend about a ride.
About a man on a horse, who was brave of course
Part of our nations pride
We used to learn the poem at school, I am hoping to hell we still do
The man from snowy river means a lot to me and you

{chorus}
{What about a might big river, used to flow wide and strong
Thought we were clever to dam all the water but we all know today we were wrong.

We used to have a might big river, rowed a little boat to get home.
You know what I wish, I wish we left the snowy river alone.}

That's a romantic notion, a dreamer's luxury
Soon we will be paying for rain they add on the GST
You can't have a river these days if they don't get a piece of the pie
But the snowy river people are saying we can't let the snowy die

{chorus}

Now Banjo don't roll over, we haven't given up the fight
I have a deep down feeling the snowy people are right
We ought to be ashamed as human have to cheat to leave her high and dry to dribble like a little creek

{chorus}
