Southern Main Canal

Southern Main Canal
Used to treat me well
Used to feed this land
Seven years of drought
Filling me with doubt
Turned to dust and sand

Murray clear and blue
Darling running true, endless skies
Southern Main Canal
The promises they told, turned to lies

North of Goyder's Line
Endless rows of lime
Now I watch them burn
Waters running low
Everywhere I go
Renmark's first to learn

Murray clear and blue
Darling running true, endless skies
Southern Main Canal
The promises they told, turned to lies

Murray clear and blue
Darling running true, endless skies
Southern Main Canal
The promises they told, turned to lies

I still have to pay
Every single day
Cannot draw what's mine
Sun is burning blue
Nothing left to do
Leave for good this time
