FISHERMAN’S DAUGHTER (written by Donna Simpson)



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 playin’ girl



I ain’t seen the world no I’ve not travelled far

I’m saving dollars for a 1962 ruby red interior

R series Valiant, mother of a car



I’m a country girl in a city whirlpool

I’m 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

I wanna walk the highway with you, you and you and you



No I’m 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 love him the best way I can

I know I can



I’m a country girl in a city whirlpool

I’m 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 playin’ girl
