A Flag of Our Own

A Flag of Our Own - John Williamson

Written by：JohnWilliamson

Ned Kelly came round to see me today

I guess I was dreaming

Oh

Dumbfounded I couldn't think what to say

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I beckoned him in

But he shook his head

He said

I'm a bit grubby and a bit poorly bred

I'd rather we yarned out the back in the shed

I can leave my boots on that way

Well he took a stiff whisky

And laid down his gun

He said i won't keep you long

Cause I've got to

Run

Got to ride to the mountains

Before night is done

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

He said word's got around 'bout the music you play

You truly believe in the fair dinkum way

That the bush must remain for our spirit to stay

And we must have a flag of our own

He said i learned long ago

When I was still young

Like the lizard that spits

And sticks out his tongue

Oh the way to get shot is to carry a gun

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

There's a new world order

The leaders all shout

And everyone's frantic

They're gonna miss out

And the red white

And blues are still marching about

Oh we must have a flag of our own

'Cause this is australia

And that's where we're from

We're not yankee side kicks

Or second class Poms

And tell the Frogs

What they can do with their bomb

Oh we must have a flag of our own

Cause this is australia

And that's where we're from

We're not yankee side kicks

Or second class Poms

And tell the Frogs

What they can do with their bomb

Oh we must have a flag of our own
