Paint Me a Wheelbarrow Songtext
von John Williamson

Push a wheelbarrow to Broken Hill
Test your endurance, test your skill
Where the sun is hard and the hills are slow
Ten grand to the winners

Push a wheelbarrow to Broken Hill
Test your endurance, test your skill
With a pick and shovel and an old crowbar
And a billy wrapped up in a blanket

Put your men through the toughest test
Half a dozen of the very best
The team to beat is from the west
From Burra through to Broken Hill
You gotta be fit or the heat will kill

The man with the flag and the paint on his shirt
Loves this town like his mother

Push a wheelbarrow to Broken Hill
Test your endurance, test your skill

Quicker changes up the ride
Keep the driver sober


Paint me a purple billabong
Where the limbs are hollow but the roots are strong
Where the world is peaceful all day long
Oh paint me a purple billabong
Where the limbs are hollow but the roots are strong
Where the world is peaceful all day long

Paint this country how it feels
A rusty roof, a horse on wheels
Shirts and singlets on the line
Little chance of rain

Push a wheelbarrow to Broken Hill
Test your endurance, test your skill

It′s gonna get harder every year
Stiffer competition

Paint me a pub, it'll suit me fine
A bucket of yabbies and a barrel of wine
Paint me a mallee tree down by the mine
Oh paint me a pub, it′ll suit me fine
A bucket of yabbies and a barrel of wine
Paint me a wheelbarrow over the line
