Baldessin mash

E Am C7

Sometimes, there’s a voice in your head
Says you gotta get out, somewhere better instead
It’s time to print, you’re just not able
You need more space, you need more tables
In a workshop in a mud brick town
With gums and wallabies all around
Roller on ink the only sound
In a studio in a mud brick town
 
Last stop on the Hurstbridge Line
I’m heading out to Baldessin
Last stop on the Hurstbridge Line
I’m heading out to

 
F.                      Bb  C7   F
Baldessin, oh Baldessin,
F                        F7              Bb        Gm7 
I can hear Tess Edwards calling
C7    F.                           Bb.      Bb Am Gm
Silvi sets the presses rolling
C.           Dm
Get my printing done
Here at

 
Baldessin
 
Saturday market, chattering voices
So many chais so many choices
Classic? Spice? Mug? Pot?
Which one have you got?
Have you had it, do you drink it
If so, how often
Which do you choose
The cow or soy option?
(The powder or tea?)
 
Last stop on the Hurstbridge Line
I’m heading out to Baldessin
Last stop on the Hurstbridge Line
I’m heading out to

 
Baldessin, oh Baldessin,
Got a workshop to be doing
Silvi gets the coffee brewin’
Crank up the Albion
Here at

 
Baldessin
Baldessin
 
Aaaaa…
Aaaaa…
Aaaaa…
Aaaaa…

 A.                                       B.      A.         B
And it’s always been my fantasy
C#m 
                                       B.             A
Win a fellowship from the State Library
A                                B             E
Saving money with my own sheets
                    B.       A
In a garret in the sun
Here at
​D Eb E

Baldessin
 
Barbie Kjar is bringing it home
Mokulito on wood not stone
Photogravure’s
Not just a fad
Check out Lloyd’s bromilliads
Holy Moses! A kangaroo!
Drop my pizza from a Boy Named Sue
(with double vegan cheese!)
 
Last stop on the Hurstbridge Line
I’m heading out to Baldessin
Last stop on the Hurstbridge Line
I’m heading out to

 
Baldessin, oh Baldessin,
Where I feel the Enjay sighing
Where my latest prints are drying
                    Dm             C.                Bb.          Am.       Gm
Where the ghost of George still walks among the gums
​Gm A D
At Baldessin

 
At Baldessin
