The Land Belongs to Them
J C Munro

Chorus
Willie, did you see it, every now and then the gleam in the ground,
Willie did you pick it up,
Did you pick it up and keep it
Better keep it to yourself
Because the land and all it holds
Belongs to them

Willie you're an honest man
Like a banker counting someone else's gold
John so you're a shepherd now
Keeping someone else's sheep safe in the fold

Chorus

From California they came
The ones who knew the secrets of the soil
For them but not for you
In spite of all the heartache and the toil

Chorus

While others spread the news,
LaTrobe gave to the world the child Victoria
She bore a royal name
But Willie not for you the gold euphoria

Chorus
