A bonny mare if 'ere there was one
Stood tall in the Sydney Sales Yard.
The odds, the ring, the sales yard;-
And soon they beat her down.
The bid lot forty three, recall
(If memory serves me right)
Where stood there men as tough as nails
And bidding was a fight.
To and 'fro the bids were called
Until she was knocked down
to Eight Thousand -
For men in Blue Collars this was a lot of dough.
So Standardbred "miss milly molly"
Was walked out of the ring;-
"Not much to look at - a slender horse",-
One onlooker said;-
But he was not the man who bought her; -
Risking hard won bread.

When one heart calls to another
Everything else seems far away
Just like in a daydream
I remember your reflection
Just like another spring brings
Forth new growth
Just like another memory
Treasured, can be lost
Or just another haunted recollection?
When I see your smile
That warms my heart
All ice melts instantly.
