>From the cool of her verandah she watched him wander in

All through the harvest season in the long hot afternoons
A E A A
They gathered grapes together their love begun to bloom
F#m C#m
And somehow he had touched her and like the clinging of the vines
D A E A
Their lives became entangled their hearts became entwined
CHORUS

Where the Murray meets the Darling by the water slow and brown
D A E
In a secret valley he laid a blanket down
D A F#m
It was there beside the river he pledged his love that day

Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away
