Wally (the Mick Thomas Song) Video (MV)

Headed out across the western country
Headed for another show to play
Where the wind can burn your eye in the middle of july
Headed for another show to play

Wednesday night we played along the mallee
Thursday night saw bright city lights
Me and my mandolin playing mate davey
Heading west in search of delights

But it was the night mick thomas came to town
The one night mick thomas was around
And with his squeezebox playing mate we might as well have packed up at eight
On the night mick thomas came to town

When we arrived the bar she was heaving
Harder than the wind that blew through town
And i swear that ararat could break a man and back
When you've headed for another show to play

But it was the night mick thomas came to town
The one night mick thomas was around
And with his squeezebox playing mate we might as well have packed up at eight
On the night mick thomas came to town

Hey and i thought i'd been around
And i thought i could handle just about any sound
But as 7.30 rolled and the meat raffle story got told
The men began to stagger, chicks began to swagger
And i knew, it was gonna be... a long night in ararat

Hey and i swear if i didn't swear
We'll i'd swear, i'd swear... i'd swear i wasn't there
And if i didn't care
Well i wouldn't even tell you, tell you we were there
In a town called ararat well they're ain't no turning back
When you've headed for another show to play

But it was the night mick thomas came to town
The one night mick thomas he was around
And with his squeezebox playing mate we might as well have packed up at eight
On the night mick thomas came to town
It was the night mick and wally came to town
On the night mick thomas came to town
