[00:00:00] The Ringer And The Princess (Live) - Graeme Connors

[00:00:02] Everybody called him Dingo he didn't seem to mind the name

[00:00:12] Aboriginal and Asian blood ran fifty fifty in his veins

[00:00:22] With skin like saddle leather an inscrutable kind of smile

[00:00:32] Beneath the brim of his akubra he had the dreaming in his eyes

[00:00:42] She had a bloodline back to Europe the boss' daughter mary Ann

[00:00:53] Home for Christmas at the station from a boarding school in Cairns

[00:01:03] With such a perfect face and figure the boys'd blush when she walked by

[00:01:14] Behind her back they called her princess coz she had the distance in her eyes

[00:01:24] Oh the ringer and the princess the dingo and the deer

[00:01:35] I'll tell you their story if you want to hear

[00:01:46] December rain fell with a vengeance from a cyclone in the gulf

[00:01:56] Bone dry gullies turned to rivers and plains became a sea of mud

[00:02:06] So the boss called everyone together the family and the station hands

[00:02:17] To open gates and knock down fences and give the stock a fighting chance

[00:02:28] Well the princess she was out there riding riding along beside the men

[00:02:39] Leading horses up to safety trying to bring the stragglers in

[00:02:49] Till she heard a wild commotion a little further down the way

[00:03:00] A mare was trying to cross the gully and her foal was being washed away

[00:03:10] Now the young have always been impulsive the princess had no second thoughts

[00:03:21] She rode her mount into that gully trying to save the drowning horse

[00:03:31] But in the midst of the raging waters her pony lost its step and fell

[00:03:42] With her foot caught in the stirrup the princess disappeared as well

[00:03:52] Dingo saw the whole thing happen and like a man possessed he rode

[00:04:03] Straight into that swollen gully about a hundred yards below

[00:04:14] And by the time the others got there all hope of finding her was gone

[00:04:24] Till Dingo staggered from the water with the princess in his arms

[00:04:35] Oh the ringer and the princess the Dingo and the deer

[00:04:46] I'll tell you their story if you want to hear

[00:04:57] Now the princess owns the station her dad the boos has long since died

[00:05:08] And although she never married Dingo was always by her side

[00:05:18] Still the gossips talk about them even after all these years

[00:05:29] About the ringer and the princess the Dingo and the deer

[00:05:40] About the ringer and the princess the Dingo and the deer
