Skinny Dingoes - John Williamson

作曲：John Williamson

What am I doing here

On the banks of the Diamantina

Where only skinny dingoes

And horny lizards go

The moon is loud and clear

Like the notes on m&apos concertina

I&apos ll play another drovin&apos

Song the white owl wouldn&apos t know

Forty years been drovin&apos

No woman by my side

No one gives me orders

On this dusty road I ride

But the sun can sure get angry

As it burns you from the ground

One day those skinny dingoes

Can drag my bones around

Channel country gibber plains

Tablelands I know

And then there&apos s gentle sand dunes

Where little Mallees grow

There&apos s a friendly campfire everywhere I go

I&apos ll play another drovin&apos song

The white owl wouldn&apos t know

Forty years been drovin&apos

No woman by my side

No one gives me orders

On this dusty road I ride

But the sun can sure get angry

As it burns you from the ground

One day those skinny dingoes

Can drag my bones around

So see you later Birdsville

You&apos re far too flash for me

While the beer was cold and yummy

From here it&apos s Billy Tea

The mob is keen on movin&apos

And that&apos s sounds good to me

Good feed they reckon southbound

We&apos re heading for marree

Forty years been drovin&apos

No woman by my side

No one gives me orders

On this dusty road I ride

But the flies can drive you crazy

And the wind can get you down

But you won&apos t find me lingerin&apos

Or hanging round this town

Forty years been drovin&apos

No woman by my side

No one gives me orders

On this dusty road I ride

But the sun can sure get angry

As it burns you from the ground

One day those skinny dingoes

Can drag my bones around

One day those skinny dingoes

Can drag my bones around
