[00:00:00] The Ringer And The Princess - Graeme Connors

[00:00:01] Written by：Graeme Connors

[00:00:01] Everybody called him dingo

[00:00:06] He didn't seem to mind the name

[00:00:12] Aboriginal and Asian blood

[00:00:17] Ran fifty fifty in his veins

[00:00:23] With skin like saddle leather

[00:00:28] An inscrutable kind of smile

[00:00:34] Beneath the brim of his Akubra

[00:00:39] He had the dreaming in his eyes

[00:00:44] She had a bloodline back to Europe

[00:00:50] The boss' daughter Mary Ann

[00:00:55] Home for Christmas at the station

[00:01:01] From a boarding school in cairns

[00:01:06] With such a perfect face and figure

[00:01:12] The boys'd blush when she walked by

[00:01:17] Behind her back they called her princess

[00:01:23] Cause she had the distance in her eyes

[00:01:28] Oh the ringer and the princess

[00:01:34] The dingo and the deer

[00:01:39] I'll tell you their story

[00:01:45] If you want to hear

[00:01:50] December rain fell with a vengeance

[00:01:56] From a cyclone in the gulf

[00:02:01] Bone dry gullies turned to rivers

[00:02:06] And plains became a sea of mud

[00:02:11] So the boss brought everyone together

[00:02:17] The family and the station hands

[00:02:23] To open gates and knock down fences

[00:02:28] And give the stock a fighting chance

[00:02:34] Well the princess she was out there

[00:02:39] Riding riding along beside the men

[00:02:44] Leading horses up to safety

[00:02:50] Trying to bring the stragglers in

[00:02:55] Till she heard a wild commotion

[00:03:01] A little further down the way

[00:03:06] A mare was trying to cross the gully

[00:03:11] And foal was being washed away

[00:03:17] Now the young have always been impulsive

[00:03:22] The princess had no second thoughts

[00:03:28] She rode her mount into that gully

[00:03:33] Trying to save the drowning horse

[00:03:39] But in the midst of the raging waters

[00:03:44] Her pony lost its step and fell

[00:03:50] With her foot caught in the stirrup

[00:03:55] The princess disappeared as well

[00:04:01] Dingo saw the whole thing happen

[00:04:06] And like a man possessed he rode

[00:04:11] Straight into that swollen gully

[00:04:17] About a hundred yards below

[00:04:22] And by the time the others got there

[00:04:28] All hope of finding her was gone

[00:04:33] Till dingo staggered from the water

[00:04:39] With the princess in his arms

[00:04:44] Oh the ringer and the princess

[00:04:50] The dingo and the deer

[00:04:55] I'll tell you their story

[00:05:01] If you want to hear

[00:05:06] Now the princess owns the station

[00:05:11] Her dad the boss has long since died

[00:05:17] And although she never married

[00:05:22] Dingo was always by her side

[00:05:28] Still the gossips talk about them

[00:05:33] Even after all these years

[00:05:39] About the ringer and the princess

[00:05:45] The dingo and the deer

[00:05:50] About the ringer and the princess

[00:05:56] The dingo and the deer
