Darwin (Big Heart Of The North) - Slim Dusty

Oh you’re the big heart of the country all the world comes through your gate

You’re everybody’s comrade and you’re everybody’s mate

You’re the front door of Australia with friendship flowing forth

And we’re proud to say come in this way through the big heart of the north

Many oceans roll to meet the silver sands upon your shore

Many races walk along your streets and freedoms they enjoy

With the bright blue sky above you, you uphold Australia’s torch

You’re a jewel shining for us you’re the big heart of the north

Oh you’re the big heart of the country all the world comes through your gate

You’re everybody’s comrade and you’re everybody’s mate

You’re the front door of Australia with friendship flowing forth

And we’re proud to say come in this way through the big heart of the north

From the world they come and from the south there’s a place for everyone

A helping hand and a friendly smile and a place there in the sun

And when they leave and turn their faces further down the track

You smile and say so long my friend cause you’ll soon be coming back

Oh you’re the big heart of the country all the world comes through your gate

You’re everybody’s comrade and you’re everybody’s mate

You’re the front door of Australia with friendship flowing forth

And we’re proud to say come in this way through the big heart of the north

Oh you’re the big heart of the country all the world comes through your gate

You’re everybody’s comrade and you’re everybody’s mate

You’re the front door of Australia with friendship flowing forth

And we’re proud to say come in this way through the big heart of the north

And yes we’re proud to say come in this way through the big heart of the north
