Those Fifty Years - John Williamson

We’ve been through hard times living on the land

But it’s the hard times that we understand

There’s been laughter and there’s been tears

But we came through those fifty years

We saw the boys grow, turn into men

Heard the women say it’ll rain again

We sang with joy, quick are the shears

Yeah, we came through those fifty years

Together, together, together for fifty years

Dry weather, cold weather, rainy weather for fifty years

Now there’s grandkids and some will go

No guarantees with the seeds you sow

And we will nurture, tell 'em all we know

We’ll watch them learn and we’ll watch them grow

We’ve been through hard times living on the land

But it’s the hard times that we understand

There’s been laughter and there’s been tears

But we came through those fifty years

Yes, we came through those fifty years
