And now I live in Sherbrooke Shire in the Dandenong Ranges
From Bracken hills to gum tree hills the scenery so changes.
I’ve never cared for city life and I feel only pity
For those who have to live and work in the smoky inner city
Pollution clogs the city skies, the traffic noise and rattle
Down in the smoky concrete World life’s like a constant battle.
The mountain man a healthy man the air he breathe is cleaner
And he’s living in a Natural World a World that’s quiet and greener
He’s living in a Natural World his life span ought be longer
The mountain man a healthier man than city man far stronger.
I love the hills the quiet hills, the woods where birds are singing
And every time I leave the hills back to the hills my thoughts go winging
For I don’t like the Concrete World the World of man’s endeavour
And I’ll always be a mountain man a mountain man forever.
