John Williamson The Baggy Green song lyrics

A ball through the window worne patch of grass

Harvers in the backyard worth the pains of glass

Ya head full of heros with cricket every day

Could it be that baggy cap would come your way

Dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream

Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green

Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam

You never take for granted the baggy green

A bad LBW brings about a fight

Mum from the kitchen always makes it right

Play resumes you dream again you hear em scream a shout

you wish the day would never end your still not out

Dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream

Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green

Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam

You never take for granted the baggy green

(Spoken)

See the crest resembles me and you

the green and gold of course the emu and the roo

Just the feel of felt sends a shiver down your spine

you pinch your self you cant belive its really mine

Dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream

Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green

Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam

You never take for granted the baggy green

First sesion every test the aussies can be seen

to show their pride and pay respect upon the baggy green

and all the aussies on the street who understand the game

know that if they wore the cap they would feel the same

Dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream

Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green

Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam

You never take for granted the baggy green

No dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream

Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green

Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam

You never take for granted the baggy green

No you never take for granted the baggy green
