I love a gal named Salt Bush Sue,
The prettiest gal I ever knew,
Whack-o-the-diddle-o, she'll do me
For a salt bush family.
Oh I asked her would she be my wife,
To be my partner all my life,
Whack-o-the-diddle-o, you'll do me
For a salt bush family.
We'll build a little homestead
Down by a billabong,
She'll be my inspiration
So I know I can't go wrong.
Should you happen to come our way,
Drop right in to say good day
Whack-o-the-diddle-o, she did me
For a salt bush family.
