Put a Light In Every Country Window |
| Put a light in every country window |
| High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand |
| Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able |
| To have electricity all over this wide land |
| Miners tunnel to feed the fires at Wangi |
| While others scrape the brown coal at Yallourn |
| Turbine blades are yielding to the tumbling tons of Eildon |
| And the Snowy will be finished before long |
| Put a light in every country window |
| High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand |
| Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able |
| To have electricity all over this wide land |
| Little farms and giant outback stations |
| They all are mechanised today |
| For milking cows and shearing sheep to do it fast and do it cheap |
| Electrically is the modern way |
| Put a light in every country window |
| High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand |
| Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able |
| To have electricity all over this wide land |
| The old Coolgardie and the red-hot woodstove |
| They all have seen their day at last |
| For now the ice and fire that is coming on the wire |
| Has made them all relics of the past |
| Put a light in every country window |
| High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand |
| Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able |
| To have electricity all over this wide land |
