Anne Kirkpatrick - Auctioneer Lyrics

Chorus

Auctioneer, Auctioneer

Bring that hammer down

Take my family and smash it apart
Well its just a few machines
and a little piece of land
Bring that hammer down on my heart.

Well his family's been here
for 70 years or more
his grandad cleared the land
with just an old wood saw
heard him crying late last night
when he thought I wasn't round
I'm sorry grandad I let you down
Chorus
Well there's acres and acres
of wheat in the sun
my hearts aching and aching
for the work that should be done
now the banks stopped the cheques
and no one wants the crop
and its breaking my heart to watch it rot
Chorus
After harvest rain and flood
and years and years of drought
now the interest rates are gonna finally wipe us out
they say its not our fault
its just the world economy
but he blames himself
cause were down on our knee's.
Chorus X 2 (2ND TIME NO MUSIC EXCEPT FOR SINGLE STRUMS ON LAST LINE)
