Paradise Creek
Words & Music: Pat Drummond

There is a blood red sun through the river gums
Goin' down through the trees where the river runs
Where the fire is built and the camp is laid
And the billy's boiled and the damper's made
Paradise Creek well named, well named, I say

Paradise Creek where the camp is laid
Paradise Creek and the damper's made
Paradise Creek well named, well named, I say

There's a mallard flock where the ford begins
Tucked down with their beaks stuck in their wings
And the water dances on the riverstone
And I'm out on the bush all on my own
Paradise Creek, tonight you'll be my home
Paradise Creek, by the riverstone, Paradise Creek, all on my own
Paradise Creek, tonight you'll be my home.

So I'll lay me down to sleep tonight
Where the fire is warm and the moon is bright
With the bull frog beat and the harmonies
laid in by the crickets and the summer breeze
Paradise Creek sing your song for me

Paradise Creek, with the harmonies
Paradise Creek, and the summer breeze
Paradise Creek, sing your songs for me.
