"Please Don't Forget Me" lyrics

Please don't forget me
When I'm gone
I'll be seeing you
Later on
Just think of me along the road of song
Please don't forget me
When I'm gone

I just came here to let you know
I saw the snowies all covered in snow
I saw the Cooper and the Diamantina flow
I saw the desert, where Aranda children grow
I saw my old man, wonder why
He believed good things come to those who try
Why he worked so hard with no clouds in the sky
When the creek was up, but the ground was cracked and dry

I saw my mum never let things get her down
A real bush girl in a real bush town
She went from horse, to buggy, to brand new Ford
To a walking frame in a lonely ward

I saw the tides when Mangrove Jack was on
Where muddies and crocodiles belong
Just think of me along the road of song
Please don't forget me
When I'm gone

And if you feel real good right now my job is done
Please don't forget me
When I'm gone
