| [00:00.58] | The Drover’s Ballad - Elton John |
| [00:22.86] | From the sunburnt plains of far off North Australia |
| [00:26.98] | |
| [00:28.49] | Came a fella born to ride the wide brown land |
| [00:32.49] | |
| [00:34.21] | Oh he grew up running wild |
| [00:36.28] | |
| [00:36.98] | But soon by all was styled |
| [00:39.77] | As the country's greatest-ever droving man |
| [00:43.50] | |
| [00:45.49] | Oh his legend rode the winds from Broome to Darwin |
| [00:49.81] | |
| [00:50.99] | They loved and loathed him right from end to end |
| [00:55.24] | |
| [00:56.62] | For when the drover gave his heart |
| [00:59.46] | To a girl whose skin was dark |
| [01:01.78] | |
| [01:02.43] | From that day on he was no white man's friend |
| [01:07.07] | |
| [01:08.06] | So goes The Drover's story, |
| [01:10.38] | you'll hear it near and far |
| [01:13.50] | And in the end it's all he'll ever own |
| [01:17.62] | |
| [01:18.83] | It says the outcast is a free man |
| [01:22.13] | If he sleeps under the stars |
| [01:24.84] | Makes the blanket of the southern skies his home |
| [01:30.54] | |
| [01:33.61] | Then they called him up to fight for Mother England |
| [01:37.96] | |
| [01:39.11] | In a far off war that spilled his brother's blood |
| [01:43.41] | |
| [01:45.15] | Inside the jaws of Hell |
| [01:47.54] | Where both his brothers fell |
| [01:50.15] | He just watched his faith in man die in the mud |
| [01:54.49] | |
| [01:55.99] | There was no hero's welcome for The Drover |
| [02:00.56] | |
| [02:01.70] | Just a country that had turned its back on him |
| [02:05.78] | |
| [02:07.31] | When he came home from the war |
| [02:10.12] | His sick wife, they would not cure |
| [02:12.81] | They let her die, for the colour of her skin |
| [02:16.81] | |
| [02:18.69] | So goes The Drover's story, |
| [02:21.31] | you'll hear it near and far |
| [02:24.09] | And in the end it's all he'll ever own |
| [02:28.11] | |
| [02:29.16] | It says the outcast is a free man |
| [02:32.69] | If he sleeps under the stars |
| [02:34.90] | |
| [02:35.46] | Makes the blanket of the southern skies his home |
| [02:39.91] | |
| [03:12.87] | The Drover is a man of constant shadows |
| [03:17.07] | |
| [03:18.20] | Haunted by his pain, his past and name |
| [03:22.58] | |
| [03:23.54] | For every mile he rides |
| [03:25.79] | |
| [03:26.51] | What he cannot hide, |
| [03:28.55] | |
| [03:29.29] | Is the longing in his heart to love again |
| [03:33.12] | |
| [03:34.85] | So goes The Drover's story, |
| [03:37.62] | you'll hear it near and far |
| [03:39.74] | |
| [03:40.32] | And in the end it's all he'll ever own |
| [03:44.32] | |
| [03:45.41] | It says the outcast is a free man |
| [03:48.97] | If he sleeps under the stars |
