The sound of those horse hoofs in surround sound, I have never forgotten.
Or the twins, who were not speaking – Harrison living in high cotton.
Spur, striking gold, and giving Jim’s dad’s share to him.
Man from Snowy River has so much romance and vim!
Jim Craig at eighteen, falling completely in love with Jessica, of course.
Helping her break her prize colt, a persnickety, proud, determined horse.
Twin brothers falling in love with one woman, a romantic back story.
Jim chasing the Brumby mob down a steep hill, not seeking big glory.
I found myself rooting for Spur, glad when he found the gold.
Naturally, the love story part of this western will never get old.
This is such a lovely tale, a die and go to heaven story of its day.
I cannot help thinking of all the characters in a loving way.
Levity, leveret
Too phony, coney
Bucks for the buck
And dough to see doe
Hare-brained, hilarious
Rabbit died laughing
That’s funny, bunny
The kittens will grow
You don’t know jack, rabbit
We’re in high cotton
Hightail it out of here
Peter, you know
Toss in the pepper
You got hassenpfeffer
Throw in a carrot
That’s Bugs’ old show
Down where the Privet Hedge blossoms
And the burgundy running rose
We're not living in high cotton
Down where the Privet Hedge blossoms
There are many wild O'Possums
Secrets hidden in closets undisclosed
Down where the Privet Hedge Blossoms
And the burgundy running rose
