The Camel Boy
They called him Camel Boy But he was a man He walked behind us ...with a billy He tended the campfire ... and he made the tea Drowned in the colours ... we didn't see
And the ghost gums stand ... gleaming white Showed him a paint brush ... he showed us the light I apologise ... for the condescension Paid no attention to the pain of the Camel Boy
It's Namatjira ... he became the one We remember ... all alone Under a huge sky ... with a gentle hand Painted the pictures ... of an ancient land
What fools we were ... what did we mean Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Dressed in white ... to meet the queen Take down her picture ... hang up a ghost gum Put up a landscape... by the Camel Boy
'Cause her majesty... was in his eye The 'sleeping lubra', the Aranda sky I apologise...for the condescension Paid no attention to the pain of the Camel Boy
And the ghost gums stand ... gleaming white Showed him a paint brush ... he showed us the light Drowned in the colours ... we didn't see What a man was he ... Albert the Camel Boy Albert the Camel Boy Namatjira the Camel Boy
