"TASSIE'S GOT IT ALL"

Words & Music by Jean Stafford © 1993

Tassie means the world to me

That's where I was born

Our great state the treasure isle

To me it's home sweet home.

How I love to walk along

The beaches of silver sands

And stroll through timbers tall and strong

Untouched by human hands

There's Cradle Mountain (what a sight)

For all our eyes to see

A gift from heaven up above

All for you and me

From Port Arthur in the south

It's convict ruins there

To the rugged West Coast through Queenstown

And the waters of Lake St. Clair

A true South Sea Island paradise

For all the world to share

And friendly people will make your stay

A dream beyond compare.
