Please Don't Forget Me - John Williamson

Please don’t forget me

When I’m gone

I’ll be seeing you

Later on

Just think of me along the road of song

Please don’t forget me

When I’m gone

I just came here to let you know

I saw the snowies all covered in snow

I saw the Cooper and the Diamond Tina flow

I saw the desert, where our under children grow

I saw my old man, wonder why

He believed good things come to those who try

Why he worked so hard with no clouds in the sky

When the week was up, but the ground was cracked and dry

I saw my mom never let things get her down

A real bush girl in a real bush town

She went from horse, to buggy, to brand new Ford

To a walking frame in a lonely ward

I saw the tides when Mangro Jack was home

Where muddies and crocodiles belong

Just think of me along the road of song

Please don’t forget me

When I’m gone

And if you feel real good right now my job is done

Please don’t forget me

When I’m gone
