歌曲歌詞
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
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
