Red Brown Dust, song lyrics

She’s an inland girl,
From an inland town,
This wide brown land
Is bringing me down,
I’m yearning for the sea.
I’m yearning for Josie
But I’m yearning for the sea.

I’m a seaside boy,
From a seaside town,
Gotta’ leave my girl
I’m homeward bound,
I’m yearning for the sea.
Yearning for Josie,
Yearning for the sea.

The red brown dust
Is in my mouth,
I’ve had enough
I’m heading south,
Got that salt air in my hair
I’m Port Fairy bound.
Josie is my girl,
I’m sure she’ll understand,
She’ll find another man,
There are ten men for every woman
In this town.

I love my inland girl,
I hate her inland town,
She won’t go, I won’t stay,
There’s no middle ground,
I’m yearning for the sea.
I’m yearning for Josie,
Yearning for the sea.
