Fisherman's Daughter Lyrics

I don't like gold and I don't like pearls
I'm just your regular West Australian fisherman's daughter
I'm a middle class folk singing guitar playing girl

I ain't seen the world no I've not travelled far
I'm saving dollars for a nineteen sixty two
ruby red interior r series valiant mother f*cker of a car

Coz I'm a country girl and im in a city world pulling up
pulling over man, I'm gonna let you through
I'm living in the left hand lane of my city
slow down so I can walk this highway with you
slow down, let me walk it with you


Slow down
we all gotta slow down
man I wanna walk that highway with you
yeah i wanna be walking with you you you you you
slow down
the whole world's gonna slow down
i wanna walk that high way with you, with you you you you with you

No not yet married I got no ring on my hand
I got my heart beating for this sweet loving
second hand dealing boy
I'm gonna luv him the best way I can I know I can


Coz I'm a country girl in a city world pulling down
pulling over, man, I'm gonna let you through
I'm living in the left hand lane of my city
slow down so I can walk this highway with you
slow down let me walk it with you

I don't like gold and I don't like pearls
I'm just your regular West Australian fisherman's daughter
I'm a middle class folk singing guitar playing girl
