Hamilton

In Hamilton in the Southern Grampians the population grow
Of a more industrial Inland own I cannot say I know
In the heart of farming country that in summer looks so brown
There is a city atmosphere about this rural Town.

One hundred kilometres from Warrnambool and from the ocean shore
What has been said of Hamilton that's not been said before?
It seems to keep on growing getting bigger by the day
The Melbourne of the outback some have been known to say.

The old bloke in his seventies and his seventy year old wife
In Hamilton were born and there live a happy life,
Said to me most of those born in Hamilton in Hamilton do stay
Our children and their children still live in the Town today

A big Town in rural Victoria and far inland from the sea
In Hamilton for the visitor there is much to do and see
There are theatres, night clubs and hotels and cafes and restaurants by the score
And what have I said of Hamilton that's not been said before.
