The Birdsville Track (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Way out in heartbreak corner[00:00:04]
In Australia's far outback[00:00:07]
The desert broods it's secrets[00:00:11]
Along the birdsville track[00:00:14]
A family came and perished oh what a tragic end[00:00:18]
That fierce relentless desert[00:00:25]
Has claimed so many men[00:00:27]
I've learned how thirst can craze the mind[00:00:31]
In cruel heat outback[00:00:34]
And I grieve for that poor family[00:00:38]
Along the birdsville track[00:00:41]
The great white ball of fire[00:00:45]
Rode o'er the cloudless dome[00:00:47]
And scorched all living creatures[00:00:51]
Upon the sand and stone[00:00:54]
Way out in heartbreak corner[00:00:58]
They went and ne'er came back[00:01:01]
And another story's buried there[00:01:03]
Along the birdsville track[00:01:06]
Then twilight fell with calmness as silent as a tomb[00:01:18]
And phantom streams reflected the rising of the moon[00:01:25]
The days and nights that followed brought panic and despair[00:01:32]
And blinding sandstorms raged as though to drown a mother's prayer[00:01:38]
Then demons of the desert came to claim their tortured minds[00:01:45]
And searching bushmen came too late and read the tragic signs[00:01:51]
And now beside a coolabah where desert grasses wave[00:01:58]
The brumby stallion leads his mob to skirt the new made graves[00:02:04]
Way out in heartbreak corner they went and ne'er came back[00:02:11]
May twilight bring them peace at night[00:02:16]
Along the birdsville track[00:02:19]
The dingoes howl so dismally the lonely curlews cry[00:02:31]
As though in deepest mourning[00:02:37]
The those poor souls who died[00:02:40]
Way out in heartbreak corner[00:02:44]
In Australia's far outback[00:02:46]
The desert broods it's secrets[00:02:50]
Along the birdsville track[00:02:53]
Oh the desert broods it's secrets[00:02:57]
Along the birdsville track[00:03:00]
