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

Written by：Graeme Connors[00:00:01]

Everybody called him dingo[00:00:01]

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

Aboriginal and Asian blood[00:00:12]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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