The Prettiest Girl in the Kimberley Songtext
von John Williamson

Where is the glory when war is won?
A man hits the bottle and belts his son
So I ran away to the cattle run
Where I learned to fight and swallow rum
And I learnt to go barefoot you see
Just like an aborigine
For one of their tribal on to me
The prettiest girl in the Kimberly

Woo woo woo woo


But i could not marry the girl I adore
Black and white was against the law
They chain you up to a boab tree
For kissing an aborigine
But a ringer′s heart is immune to pain
A bull rips your leg and you carry on
You grit your teeth and you cry alone
And ride for a week till the poison's gone

Woohoowoo woohoowoo

Me and my dog we′re not alone
The pension provides us with beef and a bone
I've given up drifting and drinking rum
We're up and about before the sun
And I can still quarter a beast in a dash
Have your freezer full of spare ribs in a flash
And I still dream of the one for me
The prettiest girl in the Kimberly

Woohoowoo woohoowoo
Woohoowoo haaawoo

Yes I still dream of the one for me
The prettiest girl in the Kimberly
