2.Live outdoors you live on your wits
Get used up but you learn some tricks
Go to jail for unpaid fines
Get arrested for sleepin in the daytime
policeman he come in his van
Slip away like you can
Market day you will dance
You gotta gig in the long grass band
3.Instrumental
4.Might be Katherine, might be Broome,
Might be Darwin, or Jabiru
Nobody knows what you know
When you go where the wind blows
Policeman he come in his van
Slip away like you can
Market day you will dance
You gotta gig in the long grass band
