The Waifs: "Fisherman's Daughter" Lyrics

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 playing girl



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

I’m saving dollars for a nineteen sixty two 

ruby red interior r series valiant mother f*cking of a car 



Coz I’m a country girl and im in a city world pulling up

pulling all the 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 down 

man I wanna walk that highway with you

yeah i wanna be walking with you you you you you

slow down

the whole world's gonna slow down

i wanna walk that high way with you, with you you you you with you



No 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 luv him the best way I can I know I can



Coz I’m a country girl in a city world pulling down

pulling all the 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 playing girl
