Drovers Boy - John Williams[00:00:00]

They couldn't understand why the drover cried[00:00:13]

As they buried the drover's boy[00:00:15]

The drover had always seemed so hard[00:00:19]

To the men in his employ[00:00:21]

A bolting horse the stirrup lost[00:00:25]

And the drover's boy was dead[00:00:27]

A shovel of dirt a mumbled word[00:00:31]

And it's back to the road ahead[00:00:33]

And forget about the drover's boy[00:00:37]

And they couldn't understand why the drover cut[00:00:42]

A lock of the dead boy's hair[00:00:44]

And put it in the band of his battered old hat[00:00:48]

As they watched him standing there[00:00:50]

And he told them take the cattle on[00:00:54]

I'll sit with the boy a while[00:00:56]

A silent thought a pipe to smoke[00:01:00]

And it's ride another mile[00:01:03]

And forget about the drover's boy[00:01:06]

Forget about the drover's boy[00:01:11]

And they couldn't make out why the drover and the boy[00:01:16]

Was camped so faraway[00:01:18]

For the tall white man and the slim black boy[00:01:22]

Never had much to say[00:01:24]

And the boy would be gone at the break of dawn[00:01:28]

Tail the horses carry on[00:01:30]

While the drover roused the sleeping men[00:01:32]

Daylight hit the road again[00:01:35]

And follow the drover's boy[00:01:40]

Follow the drover's boy[00:01:45]

In the camowheel pub they talked about[00:02:09]

The death of the drover's boy[00:02:11]

They drank their rum with the stranger[00:02:15]

Who'd come from the kimberley run fitzroy[00:02:16]

And he told of the massacre in the west[00:02:21]

Barest details guess the rest[00:02:23]

Shoot the bucks grab a gin cut her hair[00:02:26]

Break her in call her a boy the drover's boy[00:02:30]

Call her a boy the drover's boy[00:02:37]

So when they build that stockman's hall of fame[00:02:47]

And they talk about the droving game[00:02:49]

Remember the girl who was bed mate and died[00:02:52]

Rode with the drover side by side[00:02:55]

Watched the bullocks flayed the hide[00:02:57]

Faithful wife but never a bride[00:03:00]

Bred his sons for the cattle run[00:03:02]

Don't weep for the drover's boy[00:03:04]

Don't mourn for the drover's boy –[00:03:09]

But don't forget the drover's boy[00:03:13]
