Lyrics:
We'll folks we are used to droughts, that's part of being Australian
But Australians will remember the drought of 95
Cause in the middle of the dust
when we all thought we were beaten
Thank God for the miracle of the flood of 95
Stretching out like a life line
From the city to the outback
A convoy of makeshift has made the toughest squishy line
and the sweat that hit the ground
when we pitched in together
kept us from going under
in the flood of 95
and init great
didn't Australia come alive
when it rained human kind
the flood of 95
and didn't we learn
just who our mates are
and didn't Australia blossom
from the flood of 95
i still see the faces
the faces of Australians
faces of some old friends
I just saw that day
Slim Dusty, AO MBE (born David Gordon Kirkpatrick; 13 June 1927 - 19 September 2003) was an Australian country music singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He was an Australian cultural icon and one of the country's most awarded stars, with a career spanning nearly seven decades and numerous recordings. He was known to record songs in the legacy of Australia, particularly of bush life and renowned Australian bush poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson that represented the lifestyle. The music genre was coined the "bush ballad", a style first made popular by Buddy Williams, the first artist to perform the genre in Australia, and also for his many trucking songs. Dusty was the first Australian to have a No. 1 international hit song, with a version of Gordon Parsons' "A Pub with No Beer". He received an unequalled 37 Golden Guitar and two Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the Country Music Roll of Renown
