This used to be Tony Bird's signature song when he first became popular. Does anybody have the complete lyrics to this song ?

SHE CAME FROM THE KARROO (note sp)

She came from the Karroo
And her eyes were morning blue
Like the hills out in the dew
She came from the Karoo

And her hair was honeyed gold
Hung down her back so low
Like a flaxen waterfall
Her hair was honeyed gold

And she always used to wear
A little red faded dress
T'was the one that she liked best
Her little red faded dress

And we'd stray out across the sands
A-wandering hand in hand
Two lovers in a wonderland
A-wandering hand in hand

And up the rocky hills we'd climb
Where the fiery aloes flame
And the dassies jump and play
Up the rocky hills we'd climb

And we'd sit out in the sun
Looking down on the plains around
We never needed anyone
We'd sit out in the sun

And evening skies would woo the afternoon
Behind the table tops of the wandering Karroo
And in a sinking sun out in the purple hue
Two hearts would meet and melt the love they knew

She came from the Karoo, etc.

Thank you Margeret. I have been looking for these lyrics for the past 20 years, since I saw Tony perform this song. SOL ZELLER
