The Ringer And The Princess (Live) - Graeme Connors[00:00:00]

Everybody called him Dingo he didn't seem to mind the name[00:00:02]

Aboriginal and Asian blood ran fifty fifty in his veins[00:00:12]

With skin like saddle leather an inscrutable kind of smile[00:00:22]

Beneath the brim of his akubra he had the dreaming in his eyes[00:00:32]

She had a bloodline back to Europe the boss' daughter mary Ann[00:00:42]

Home for Christmas at the station from a boarding school in Cairns[00:00:53]

With such a perfect face and figure the boys'd blush when she walked by[00:01:03]

Behind her back they called her princess coz she had the distance in her eyes[00:01:14]

Oh the ringer and the princess the dingo and the deer[00:01:24]

I'll tell you their story if you want to hear[00:01:35]

December rain fell with a vengeance from a cyclone in the gulf[00:01:46]

Bone dry gullies turned to rivers and plains became a sea of mud[00:01:56]

So the boss called everyone together the family and the station hands[00:02:06]

To open gates and knock down fences and give the stock a fighting chance[00:02:17]

Well the princess she was out there riding riding along beside the men[00:02:28]

Leading horses up to safety trying to bring the stragglers in[00:02:39]

Till she heard a wild commotion a little further down the way[00:02:49]

A mare was trying to cross the gully and her foal was being washed away[00:03:00]

Now the young have always been impulsive the princess had no second thoughts[00:03:10]

She rode her mount into that gully trying to save the drowning horse[00:03:21]

But in the midst of the raging waters her pony lost its step and fell[00:03:31]

With her foot caught in the stirrup the princess disappeared as well[00:03:42]

Dingo saw the whole thing happen and like a man possessed he rode[00:03:52]

Straight into that swollen gully about a hundred yards below[00:04:03]

And by the time the others got there all hope of finding her was gone[00:04:14]

Till Dingo staggered from the water with the princess in his arms[00:04:24]

Oh the ringer and the princess the Dingo and the deer[00:04:35]

I'll tell you their story if you want to hear[00:04:46]

Now the princess owns the station her dad the boos has long since died[00:04:57]

And although she never married Dingo was always by her side[00:05:08]

Still the gossips talk about them even after all these years[00:05:18]

About the ringer and the princess the Dingo and the deer[00:05:29]

About the ringer and the princess the Dingo and the deer[00:05:40]
