Burning Rodney Lyrics - Van Diemen's Land - Russell Morris

V1: Down in Toronto where the Darling River flows 

My fathers father sheered before yous were born 

You come to take be careful what you might get 

Cause all the stock breakers they will end in a mess 

(chorus) We're taking you blind, 

we're burning Rodney right down to the water-line 

V2: Now rolling out that welcome mat so no 

They bring you down here so he can pay us dough 

They played is like us, so you must understand 

Don't be no Judas, don't go work for the man 

(chorus) We're taking you blind, 

we're burning Rodney right down to the water-line 

(Bridge) Come on as a boss Judas whore 

Your more like us, and that's for sure 

Let's stick together and be us against them 

And we can start a fire, mat that mighty win 

(SOLO) 

V3: Waterfront station has been pulling in spite 

Moving all the fleece on the river at night 

And Captain Willie Dixon is a company man 

Their tearing us apart and the heart of this land 

(chorus) We're taking you blind, 

we're burning Rodney right down to the water-lineX3
