Just to make some bread

Living and a-working

on the land

Quit my job

and I left my wife

I headed out west

for a brand-new life

Just to get away

Living and a-working

on the land...

Yeah!

What a change it's been

From working

that nine-to-five

How strange it's been

At last I get the feeling

that I'm really alive

Way out west,

where the rain don't fall

Got a job with a company

drilling for oil

And I'm never gonna leave

Living and a-working

on the land

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Living and a-working

on the land

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

- Whoo!

- Yeah!

Living and a-working

on the land

Hey!

To Red Dog!

The best damn doggie

in the whole damn country!

- Hey. Hey.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

He's gone.

No, no.

He's gone from the room.

He's not out the back anymore.

We have to find him.

Come on. Let's go.

- Red Dog!

- Red!

Red! Red!

Doggie!

Red Doggie! Red!

Doggie!

Red!

Here, Red!

Here, boy!

Red!

Red!

Where are you, boy?

Red!

Red Dog, come home.

They've found him.

You stay, boy.

You stay here.

You're home now.

ONE YEAR LATER:

When people

keep repeating

That you'll never

fall in love

When everybody

keeps retreating

But you can't seem

to get enough

Let my love

open the door...

Oh, my God!

Let my love

open the door...

- Where'd you get him?

- Vanno was giving them away.

- Let my love open the door

- Let my love open the door

- Let my love open the door

- Ooh-ooh

Let my love open the door

When everything

feels all over

Everybody seems unkind...

Ladies and gentlemen, if you

would please take a seat.

Take all worry

out of your mind

Let my love open the door

Let my love

open the door...

Let my love open the door

- To your heart

- Let my love open the door

- Ooh-ooh

- Let my love open the door

Ooh-ooh

I have the only key

to your heart

I can stop you

falling apart

Try today

You'll End this way

Come on and give me

a chance to say

Let my love open the door

It's all I'm living for

Release yourself from misery

There's only one thing

gonna set you free

That's my love

That's my love

- Let my love open the door

- Ooh

Let my love open the door

- When tragedy befalls you

- Ooh-ooh

Don't let it drag you down

- Love can cure your problem

- Ooh-ooh

You're so lucky I'm around

Let my love open the door

To your heart

Red Dog died on November 21st, 1979.
