lyrics

I WAS BORN, BY THE MURRAY RIVER
I’VE FELT HER SPIRIT IN MY HANDS, IN HER RIVER SANDS
AND I’VE WATCHED THE WATERFALLS, BEHIND THE STEAMERS, WINDING THROUGH, THE HEART OF HER RIVERLANDS
I GREW UP, BESIDE THE RIVER
ALL MY LIFE, I’VE WATCHED IT FLOW,
LOGS IN TOW AND AS THE WATERS RISE AND FALL, ALONG THAT RIVER
MY HEART’S BEEN HIGH, AND MY HEART’S BEEN LOW
BUT I’VE BEEN AWAY FOR SUCH A LONG LONG TIME
THAT RIVER KEEPS HER HAND ON THIS HEART OF MINE
AND I DREAM ABOUT THE DAY WHEN I’LL RETURN
I’LL SIT AND WATCH THOSE BIG WHEELS TURN / MY CAMP FIRE BURN
AND I’LL GO BACK, BESIDE THE RIVER
AND ON HER BANKS, I WILL LAY, SOME SUNNY DAY
THEN THE RIVER GUMS, AND THE PEPPERCORN TREES
WILL SHADE ME, I’LL BE AT PEACE, AND THERE I’LL STAY

about

Louey Hesterman Apollo Bay, Australia

Louey Hesterman’s Whimsy is an autobiographical tale beginning in Echuca by the Murray River and travelling via
Melbourne, Mildura and Vietnam to come to rest comfortably in Apollo Bay.
The scene for Whimsy has been set, and the flights of fancy that include a voyage to the South Seas and a seemingly impossible mash-up of Celtic reels and surf rock suddenly make sense.
Sort of!
