Said he was born on Marble Bar, been a drover all his life[00:04:33]
With his old dark skin, a wrinkled grin, grandchildren and a wife[00:04:33]
He drove cattle through to Camel Wheel and up the Isa too[00:04:33]
And his old eyes shone of the days long gone and the mates, he knew[00:04:33]
Well I met him there, in Turkey Creek as he sat in a four-wheel drive[00:04:33]
I was glad to find his mind was sharp and the memories still alive[00:04:33]
Of the droving days and the stockyard camp when he rode at the boss' side[00:04:33]
Well he'd been a ringer all his life on the western side[00:04:33]
Oh Paddy William is his name[00:04:33]
And droving was his game[00:04:33]
But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way from home[00:04:33]
Oh Paddy William is his name[00:04:33]
And droving was his game[00:04:33]
But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way, from home[00:04:33]
Well he looked so old and weary as he proudly spoke his name[00:04:33]
His old eyes shone like beacons when he talked of the droving game[00:04:33]
He said he was born on Marble Bar, been a drover all his life[00:04:33]
With his old dark skin, a wrinkled grin, said he loved the life[00:04:33]
And I guess he's still in Turkey Creek, near the hills of Misty Blue[00:04:33]
And I hope his dreams of the Cattle Run, all come true[00:04:33]
And I hope he finds a horse so fine to carry him away[00:04:33]
And on the droving run, he'll be number one[00:04:33]
Like the good old days[00:04:33]
Oh Paddy William is his name[00:04:33]
And droving was his game[00:04:33]
But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way from home[00:04:33]
Oh Paddy William is his name[00:04:33]
And droving was his game[00:04:33]
But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way, from home[00:04:33]
So if your driving through the Kimberleys or around the Isa way,[00:04:33]
You might see him slowly riding with a big mob on the graze[00:04:33]
He'll be tall and straight don't hesitate, just call out his name[00:04:33]
Just say g'day there Paddy William, how's the droving game?[00:04:33]
Oh Paddy William is his name[00:04:33]
And droving was his game[00:04:33]
But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way from home[00:04:33]
Oh Paddy William is his name[00:04:33]
And droving was his game[00:04:33]
But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way from home[00:04:33]
