Namatjira (1965 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Oh hushed are the voices and gray are the skies[00:00:08]
And many the teardrops fall from dark and saddened eyes[00:00:13]
And many fair brothers will stand with bowed head[00:00:20]
For the message came this morning Namatjira is dead[00:00:25]
Oh the stairs that Namatjira climbed are to the hall of fame[00:00:38]
And there he left upon its wall a true Australian name[00:00:43]
His paintings are of god's own country where it's people claim[00:00:49]
The stairs that Namatjira climbed are to the hall of fame[00:00:54]
The golden stairs of fame[00:01:00]
Among our great artists and heroes of fame[00:01:13]
We'll always remember and honour his name[00:01:18]
He painted this country for the whole world to see[00:01:24]
He painted Australia just as it should be[00:01:29]
Oh the stairs that Namatjira climbed are to the hall of fame[00:01:42]
And there he left upon its wall a true Australian name[00:01:47]
His paintings are of god's own country where it's people claim[00:01:53]
The stairs that Namatjira climbed are to the hall of fame[00:01:58]
The golden stairs of fame[00:02:05]
For Australia's dark sons no prouder have they been[00:02:17]
Than the day that Namatjira shook the hand of the queen[00:02:22]
Near the home that he loved so well he's sleeping 'neath the flowers[00:02:29]
In the land of his fathers that is his and ours[00:02:34]
Oh the stairs that Namatjira climbed are to the hall of fame[00:02:47]
And there he left upon its wall a true Australian name[00:02:52]
His paintings are of god's own country where it's people claim[00:02:58]
The stairs that Namatjira climbed are to the hall of fame[00:03:03]
The golden stairs of fame[00:03:09]
