SCRUB AND BLACKBERRY (Paul Bond) Refrain. Here's to the home I've left so long Far in the back country Hidden in the rushes, the scrub and the blackberry Muddy paths and potholes Tractor tracks and postholes Mossy battens dangling there on the wire And the open fire Six-inch nails and hay bales Warratahs and sliprails Dogs and children yapping away in your ear And the air so clear Refrain Days of chipping thistles Curses and dog whistles Crutching in the yard with a flash of the shears As the evening nears, Talking round the table Loud guffaws and babble Families now split up and splintered like kindling wood But the life was good Refrain Youtube clip This song was the winner of the NZ Folk Federation songwriting competition in 1981. --Stewie.
