Her shoulder length hair it is wavy and brown <br />The girl from the bush she lives in the big Town <br />And she works as a secretary for Solicitors and Co <br />And quite good at her job as her employers well know. <br /> <br />The girl from the bush her eyes are dark blue <br />And on her last birthday she turned twenty two <br />She does look attractive and free of conceit <br />Her old home is far from the big City street. <br /> <br />She'd like to go back to her old Country Town <br />Surrounded by paddocks from long dry spells brown <br />But the unemployed there are many and jobs always few <br />So her career in the City she feels obliged to pursue. <br /> <br />A few weeks back her and her lover their ways they did part <br />And always sadness at the end of an affair of the heart <br />But time will be her healer and she will be okay <br />Though the ache of lost love it lasts for more than a day. <br /> <br />The girl from the bush is approaching her prime <br />And on her side she has got beauty and time <br />And though she often thinks of her Bush Town far away <br />She is in the City 'twould seem for to stay.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-girl-from-the-bush/
