John Williamson - Anthems - A Celebration of Australia

True Blue (Early Version)

Hey, true blue
Don't say you've gone
Say you've knocked off for a smoke-o
And you'll be back later on
Hey, true blue

Hey, true blue
Give it to me straight
Face to face
Are you really disappearing?
Just another dying race?
Hey, true blue

True blue, is it me and you?
Is it Mum and Dad?
Is it a cockatoo?
Is it standing by your mate
When he's in a fight?
Or just Vegemite?
True blue
I'm asking you

Hey, true blue
Can you bear the load?
Will you tie it up with wire
Just to keep the show on the road?
Hey, true blue

Hey, true blue
Now be fair dinkum
Is your heart still there?
If they sell us out like sponge-cake
Do you really care?
Hey, true blue

True blue
Is it me and you?
Is it Mum and Dad?
Is it a cockatoo?
Is it standing by your mate
When she's in a fight?
Or just Vegemite?
True blue
I'm asking you

True blue
Is it me and you?
Is it mum and dad?
Is it a cockatoo?
Is it standing by your mate
When he's in a fight?
Or just Vegemite?
True blue
True blue
