Outback Verse 1 Sweating, prepping full of goods I'm a-bringing No fret, no worries, with my tucker bag swinging I'm known as swagman 'cause I wander for work I'm no one's bagman when I'm pounding the earth Chorus I'm stepping back I'm stepping Outback I'm stepping back I'm stepping Outback Verse 2 Connie Sue crossing Annie Beadill Been hunting jumbuck and I savor the kill This waltzing's taken more than I'll ever yield The embers crackle o'er the Emu-bird Field Chorus I'm stepping back I'm stepping Outback I'm stepping back I'm stepping Outback Bridge Alice Springs is no place for a squatter Nor Broken Hill; fill your billy with water I've known my pleasures with Matilda too long I've lost my treasures to the earth I belong, I belong, I belong, don't belong Chorus I'm stepping back I'm stepping Outback I'm stepping back I'm stepping Outback I'm stepping back I'm stepping Outback I'm stepping back I'm stepping Outback
