From Little Things Big Things Grow Kev Carmody

[Intro: Paul Kelly, Kev Carmody and Unknown]
Oh, well, let's get this in one, eh? (I think that means we have to get it right this time, hm. *Laughs*)
Yeah, yeah, oh, we'll get it spot on
Six, five, four, three, two, one

[Verse 1: Paul Kelly & Kev Carmody]
Gather 'round, people, I'll tell you a story
An eight-year long story of power and pride
British Lord Vestey and Vincent Lingiari
Were opposite men on opposite sides
Vestey was fat, with money and muscle
Beef was his business, broad was his door
Vincent was lean, spoke very littlе
He had no bank balance, hard dirt was his floor

[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From littlе things, big things grow

[Verse 2: Paul Kelly & Kev Carmody]
Gurindji were working for nothin' but rations
Where once they had gathered the wealth of the land
Daily, the pressure got tighter and tighter
Gurindji decided they must make a stand
They picked up their swags, started off walkin'
At Wattie Creek, they sat 'emselves down
Now, it don't sound like much, but it sure got tongues talkin'
Back at the homestead and then in the town
