about

Queensland 2016: "I went out in a little 'tinny' with my cousin to pick up the crab nets at dusk amongst the mangrove swamps and creeks. Mud crabs are very tasty, but if one bites your finger they could have it off before you can say Rum! It's always best to count your fingers after you've been mud-crabbing.” A little bit of Cajun with some sweet fiddle from Pierre-henri Pichot! .....

lyrics

Me and my cousin, out on the creek
Trying to catch some muddies for us to eat
Nothing in the net, nothing in the bottle
Mud-crab slide and mud-crab scuttle.

It don’t matter to me,
It don’t matter to me,
Only one place that I wanna be
Here in the roots of my family tree.

Me ‘n’ Alby, Garto out in the Bobcat
Floatin’ ‘round wondering, where’s all the fish at?
Wanna get a beer, tastes so sweet
But you gotta hook one big enough to keep.

Chorus

Sitting on the deck, pickin’ the blues
To a coupl’a kookaburras and some kangaroos
Putting on a show for the neighbourhood dogs
With fine backing vocals from the green-tree frogs
(they’re singin’)

Chorus
