Nukkanya - Paul Kelly

Outside the dogs are barking

And the morning sun is breaking through the trees

My heart is feeling heavy

As I listen to the moaning of the breeze

Nukkanya, baby, I really don’t want to leave

There’s a ticket in my pocket

But I’d toss it if I only had my way

And a suitcase in the hallway

I wish I could unpack it now and stay

Nukkanya, baby, I’m gonna be back some day

Nukkanya

Don’t it go to show what a man don’t know

Nukkanya

Nukkanya, baby, I really don’t want to go

My land was once a river

I hate to see it slowly bleeding dry

My love is like an eagle

And high across the valleys she will fly

Nukkanya, baby, I’ll see you by and by

Nukkanya

Don’t it go to show what a man don’t know

Nukkanya

Nukkanya, baby, I really don’t want to go

Nukkanya

Don’t it go to show what a man don’t know

Nukkanya

Nukkanya, baby, I really don’t want to go

Nukkanya

Nukkanya, baby, I really don’t want to go

Nukkanya, baby, I really don’t want to go…
