About From Little Things Big Things Grow By Paul Kelly

Artist: Paul Kelly
Album: Comedy
Released: 1993
Genres: Alternative/Indie, Children’s Music, Pop, Rock, Folk

“From Little Things Big Things Grow” is a protest song recorded by Australian artists Paul Kelly & The Messengers on their 1991 album Comedy, and by Kev Carmody (with Kelly) on his 1993 album Bloodlines. It was released as a CD single by Carmody and Kelly in 1993 but failed to chart. The song was co-written by Kelly and Carmody, and is based on the story of the Gurindji strike (Wave Hill walk-off) and Vincent Lingiari as part of the Indigenous people’s struggle for land rights in Australia and reconciliation.

Cover of Getup Mob’s version of the song
At the 1994 Country Music Awards of Australia, the song won Heritage Song of the Year.

On 4 May 2008 a cover version by The GetUp Mob, part of the GetUp! advocacy group, peaked at #4 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) singles charts. This version included samples from speeches by Prime Ministers Paul Keating in 1992, and Kevin Rudd in 2008; it featured vocals by both Carmody and Kelly, as well as other Australian artists.

Ziggy Ramo reworked, expanded and updated the lyrics in his acclaimed 2021 version. The track also features vocals by Kelly.

The song was co-written by Kelly and Carmody, and is based on the story of the Gurindji Strike (also known as the Wave Hill walk-off) and in particular the role of the Gurindji leader of the strikers, Vincent Lingiari. It describes how the Gurindjis’ claim to their traditional lands back from the cattle station on which they worked (owned by UK company Vesteys and called Wave Hill Station) sparked the Indigenous land rights movement. The nine-year protest won public support and eventually led to the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1976, which provides the basis upon which Aboriginal Australian people in the Northern Territory can claim rights to land based on traditional occupation (native title), and the power of veto over mining and development on those lands. On 16 August 1975, a small part of their land was handed back to the Gurindji people on a 30-year-lease by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, a symbolic and powerful moment in history.

Carmody described writing the song:

“Paul Kelly and I had gone away on a camping trip in about ’91 or something and we just kind of pulled it out around the campfire. Paul had a good chord progression and I thought it would be good to tell a little story over it. So, by about 2 o’clock in the morning, we had a six-minute song.

— Kev Carmody, 2008
It was recorded by Paul Kelly and the Messengers for their 1991 album Comedy released by Mushroom Records. Kelly included the song on his solo albums, Live, May 1992 and Songs from the South: Paul Kelly’s Greatest Hits in 1997. Carmody recorded it on his 1993 album Bloodlines supplying vocals, guitar and didgeridoo, Kelly supplied vocals, guitar and harmonica, with numerous other musicians. This Carmody and Kelly version was released as a single in 1993 but did not chart. Also in 1993, an SBS television documentary, Bloodbrothers, examined Carmody and his music including this song.

Kelly attributes the song’s major influences to protest songs of the civil rights movement and traditional folk songs. The melody is borrowed from “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” by Bob Dylan, with the opening line reworked from “The Times They Are a-Changin'”.

“From Little Things Big Things Grow has its roots in songs like Woody Guthrie’s Deportees and The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll by Bob Dylan. And those songs grew out of the soil of other older songs.

— Paul Kelly, 2008
The lyrics are posted online on the National Museum of Australia website.

Paul Kelly – From Little Things Big Things Grow mp3 full lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gather ’round, people, I’ll tell you a story
An eight-year long story of power and pride
British Lord Vestey and Vincent Lingiari
Were opposite men on opposite sides
Vestey was fat, with money and muscle
Beef was his business, broad was his door
Vincent was lean and spoke very little
He had no bank balance, hard dirt was his floor

[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow

[Verse 2]
Gurindji were working for nothing but rations
Where once they had gathered the wealth of the land
And daily, the pressure got tighter and tighter
Gurindji decided they must make a stand
They picked up their swags and started off walking
At Wattie Creek, they sat themselves down
Now, it don’t sound like much, but it sure got tongues talking
Back at the homestead and then in the town

[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow

[Verse 3]
Vestey-man said, “I’ll double your wages;
Seven quid a week you’ll have in your hand”
Vincent said, “Uh-uh, we’re not talking about wages
We’re staying right here ’til we get our land”
Vestey-man roared and Vestey-man thundered
“You don’t stand the chance of a cinder in snow”
Vince said, “If we fall, others are rising”

[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow

[Verse 4]
Then Vincent Lingiari boarded an airplane
And landed in Sydney, great big city of lights
And daily he went ’round, softly speaking his story
To all kinds of men from all walks of life
And Vincent sat down with big politicians
“This affair,” they told him, “it’s a matter of state
Let us sort it out, why, your people must be hungry!”
Vincent said, “No thanks, we know how to wait”

[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow

[Verse 5]
Then Vincent Lingiari returned in an airplane
Back to his country once more to sit down
And he told his people, “Let the stars keep on turning
We got friends in the south, in the cities and towns”
Eight years went by, eight long years of waiting
‘Til one day a tall stranger appeared in the land
And he came with lawyers and he came with great ceremony
And through Vincent’s fingers he poured a handful of sand
[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow

[Verse 6]
That was the story of Vincent Lingiari
But this is the story of something much more
How power and privilege can not move a people
Who know where they stand, and stand in the law

[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
