The Camel Boy - John Williamson[00:00:00]
They called him Camel Boy[00:00:08]
But he was a man[00:00:11]
He walked behind us with a billy[00:00:13]
He tended the campfire and he made the tea[00:00:17]
Drowned in the colours we didn't see[00:00:22]
And the ghost gums stand gleaming white[00:00:26]
Showed him a paint brush he showed us the light[00:00:31]
I apologise for the condescension[00:00:35]
Paid no attention to the pain of the Camel Boy[00:00:40]
It's Namatjira he became the one[00:00:49]
We remember all alone[00:00:54]
Under a huge sky with a gentle hand[00:00:58]
Painted the pictures of an ancient land[00:01:03]
What fools we were what did we mean[00:01:07]
Dressed in white to meet the queen[00:01:12]
Take down her picture hang up a ghost gum[00:01:16]
Put up a landscape by the Camel Boy[00:01:20]
'Cause her majesty was in his eye[00:01:34]
The 'sleeping lubra' the Aranda sky[00:01:39]
I apologise for the condescension[00:01:43]
Paid no attention to the pain of the Camel Boy[00:01:48]
And the ghost gums stand gleaming white[00:02:01]
Showed him a paint brush he showed us the light[00:02:06]
Drowned in the colours we didn't see[00:02:10]
What a man was he Albert the Camel Boy[00:02:14]
Albert the Camel Boy[00:02:21]
Namatjira the Camel Boy[00:02:25]
