歌曲歌詞
Down at the local on Friday nights
My neighbour Dave wanders in
Sheepishly looking for company
As he misses has bounced him again
He drinks with the boys from his single days
And life takes on a much brighter tone
And Dave can't believe when it's time to leave
That his wife comes to take him back home
She ' s the Mrs of a farmer
The better half of a man
Workin' the land as a family
Raisin' the kids in Gippsland
She's been the wife through trouble would strike
Ever ready to lean a hand
The backbone of the farmer
A girl from the land
Dave ' s wife is Sue and she's local too
For they've been in the district for years
They work side by side it's been no easy ride
But they've made it with love sweat and tears
Their kids are all grown with homes of their own
So each Friday Sue gets in Dave ' s ear
It seems like a fluke but I'm tellin' you
It's just so he can have a few beers
Yes the Mrs of a farmer
Is the better half of a man
Workin' the land as a family
Raisin' the kids in Gippsland
She's been the wife through trouble and strife
Ever ready to lean a hand
The backbone of the farmer
A girl from the land
Instrumental
And meanwhile at home Sue's been on the phone
Her girl friends will be droppin' in
An' they laugh as they can about Susie ' s old man
As he thinks he's in trouble again
The womenfolk know their men like to go
For a beer with the boys now and then
And the girls think its fine having tea cake and wine
Til it's time to collect them again
Yes the Mrs of a farmer
Is the better half of a man
Workin' the land as a family
Raisin' the kids in Gippsland
She's been the wife through trouble and strife
Always ready to lean a hand
The backbone of the farmer
A girl from the land
A girl from the land
