《The Camel Boy》歌词

[00:00:00] The Camel Boy - John Williamson

[00:00:08] They called him Camel Boy

[00:00:11] But he was a man

[00:00:13] He walked behind us with a billy

[00:00:17] He tended the campfire and he made the tea

[00:00:22] Drowned in the colours we didn't see

[00:00:26] And the ghost gums stand gleaming white

[00:00:31] Showed him a paint brush he showed us the light

[00:00:35] I apologise for the condescension

[00:00:40] Paid no attention to the pain of the Camel Boy

[00:00:49] It's Namatjira he became the one

[00:00:54] We remember all alone

[00:00:58] Under a huge sky with a gentle hand

[00:01:03] Painted the pictures of an ancient land

[00:01:07] What fools we were what did we mean

[00:01:12] Dressed in white to meet the queen

[00:01:16] Take down her picture hang up a ghost gum

[00:01:20] Put up a landscape by the Camel Boy

[00:01:34] 'Cause her majesty was in his eye

[00:01:39] The 'sleeping lubra' the Aranda sky

[00:01:43] I apologise for the condescension

[00:01:48] Paid no attention to the pain of the Camel Boy

[00:02:01] And the ghost gums stand gleaming white

[00:02:06] Showed him a paint brush he showed us the light

[00:02:10] Drowned in the colours we didn't see

[00:02:14] What a man was he Albert the Camel Boy

[00:02:21] Albert the Camel Boy

[00:02:25] Namatjira the Camel Boy
