1. Just layin' with my lady on a houseboat in the sun,

F                         Am                 - F                           G

    can't hear the city hummin',        and I'm feelin' good.

    With a       belly full of oysters and some white wine on the ice,

    I've got that       lay down lovin' feeling,       it's really nice, what I call...

    Hawkesbury River lovin',          good Aussie wine,

    workin' hard at bein' lazy, no bait on the line.

    My kind of paradise,         a river honeymoon,

    Why can't I be born again and come back as a swan,

F                        Am                  - F                     G

    head up north for the winter        and back again to find some...
