You ripped my poster off the wall Cause I'm the singer that went to the war You see no good in me at all Well pardon me if I believe I haven't got it wrong And before you turn your back on me I'll sing you one more song Cause I shook hands with a digger On the wrong side of the world With a wife at home who holds her breath And brand new baby girl And the digger fights for freedom in a job that must be done And I let go of his hand, so proud to be Australian And if unlike me you feel no pride at all Then go ahead and take me off your wall Cause I'd prefer to be a poster girl On the wrong side of the world And I'm just the girl that sings the crazy songs Not qualified to sit and judge I've been right and I know I've been wrong But I'm for peace and I'm for love And I admire the burning fire that causes you to fight I only wish the wrong side of the world had the same right Cause I listened to the wisdom of the Aussie brigadier He spoke of widows and of orphans and the need to dry their tears And he leads the fight for freedom in a job that must be done And I've never been more proud to say that I'm Australian And if unlike me you feel no pride at all Then go ahead and take me off your wall Cause I'd prefer to be a poster girl On the wrong side of the world Maybe I'm naïve to think we all could get along And sir, I read your words And all I ask is hear my song I shook hands with a digger On the wrong side of the world With a wife at home who holds her breath And brand new baby girl And the digger fights for freedom in a job that must be done And I let go of his hand, so proud to be Australian And if unlike me you feel no pride at all Then go ahead and take me off your wall Cause I'd prefer to be a poster girl On the wrong side of the world I'm so proud to be a poster girl On the wrong side of the world
I have never heard a more beautiful, meaningful song in my whole life. I love it so much.
Such a great artist with such an awesome song! Well done Beccy!
You ripped my poster off the wall
Cause I'm the singer that went to the war
You see no good in me at all
Well pardon me if I believe I haven't got it wrong
And before you turn your back on me I'll sing you one more song
Cause I shook hands with a digger
On the wrong side of the world
With a wife at home who holds her breath
And brand new baby girl
And the digger fights for freedom in a job that must be done
And I let go of his hand, so proud to be Australian
And if unlike me you feel no pride at all
Then go ahead and take me off your wall
Cause I'd prefer to be a poster girl
On the wrong side of the world
And I'm just the girl that sings the crazy songs
Not qualified to sit and judge
I've been right and I know I've been wrong
But I'm for peace and I'm for love
And I admire the burning fire that causes you to fight
I only wish the wrong side of the world had the same right
Cause I listened to the wisdom of the Aussie brigadier
He spoke of widows and of orphans and the need to dry their tears
And he leads the fight for freedom in a job that must be done
And I've never been more proud to say that I'm Australian
And if unlike me you feel no pride at all
Then go ahead and take me off your wall
Cause I'd prefer to be a poster girl
On the wrong side of the world
Maybe I'm naïve to think we all could get along
And sir, I read your words
And all I ask is hear my song
I shook hands with a digger
On the wrong side of the world
With a wife at home who holds her breath
And brand new baby girl
And the digger fights for freedom in a job that must be done
And I let go of his hand, so proud to be Australian
And if unlike me you feel no pride at all
Then go ahead and take me off your wall
Cause I'd prefer to be a poster girl
On the wrong side of the world
I'm so proud to be a poster girl
On the wrong side of the world
