"Leeton's Where I Wanna Stay"

Northern side of the Murrumbidgee down in the MIA
A little town that sprang to life at the turn of the century
With water flowing in manmade channels planned by old sir Sam
It didn’t take long to sing the song “Leeton is the place to be”
Leeton’s in the heart of the Riverina
In the heart of the Mia
It’s Sun rice country, its citrus country, the best grown chardonnay
The Bidgee’s flowin the crops are groin
Yeah Leeton’s where I wanna stay
People came from all around to settle in our town
They scoured the country to find a place with peace and harmony
Rich farming land where crops will grow without much fuss and bother
Made farmers of men who helped each other when they were in need
Leeton’s in the heart of the Riverina
In the heart of the Mia
It’s Sun rice country, its citrus country, the best grown chardonnay
The Bidgee’s flowin the crops are groin
Yeah Leeton’s where I wanna stay
Now a hundred years have come and gone and our town it’s still here
Industries sprang up and died, corner shops now just a few
When times get tough we pull together and help each other out
That’s the way that Leeton works, that’s just what we do
Leeton’s in the heart of the Riverina
In the heart of the Mia
It’s Sun rice country, its citrus country, the best grown chardonnay
The Bidgee’s flowin the crops are groin
Yeah Leeton’s where I wanna stay
Yeah Leeton’s where I wanna stay
