Out in the West
Queensland town of Dulacca
I met a dark Aussie
girl in a bar.
She walked up to me
and asked for tobacca
I had some white ox
we went to my car.
Then every night at
the bar room she'd greet me
I'd say hello and
I'd buy her a brew
Then grab a
six-pack and out back she'd meet me
there in the
brigalow darkness love grew.
One night a drover
from Roma came in
sunk fifteen
schooners inside...
He wore an Akubra -
then he saw my lubra
his handsome young
smile turned vile and snide
hurt my pride...so
I challenged this
upstart to fight for her honour
he said okay and
then punched my left ear
I saw some stars
thought that I was a goner
then someone saved
me they gave me a beer.
Then he ran at me
and I threw a right hook
down went the
drover his breathing had ceased
"Bugger me dead!"
cried old Freddie the night cook
"It's cold-blooded
murder - I'll call the police!"
Out the back door
to the car park I ran
grabbed the best
ute from the town...
Hilux with keys in
it looked rather pleasing
I started the
engine and put my foot down
and I drove...just
As fast as I could
way out past Augathella
found me a job with
a mustering crew
I was a lonely and
unhappy fella
then one day I
heard it: a didgeridoo.
There was the girl
coming over the hill
and she'd brought
most of her clan...
I jumped in my
Honda and headed off yonder
the mention of
marriage not part of my plan
so I ran...to
A flea-bitten
motel, 'twas called "El Sombrero"
that's where they
found me, the arms of the law
I ran to the car
park and stole a Pajero
It was a turbo with
five on the floor.
Off to my right
lights from six Jeep Comanchees
out to my left four
wheel drives by the score
Screaming at me on
the CB like banshees
sirens were
sounding - a deafening roar.
Something goes
dreadfully wrong with my car
I slow right down
then I stop...
Out in West
Queensland I downed a Jim beam can
and there in the
window the face of a cop
so I drop...out
The passenger door
and I sneak through the shrubbery
"They'll never take
me" I swear to moon's glow
Three hours later
I'm at a corroberee
there is my
girlfriend - with baby in tow!
Next thing a
boomerang came cutting through me
that's where they
left me to die all alone
I died and the
lesson of all this came to me:
Out in West
Queensland you don't point your bone.
