Went a`walking in the sunshine
|
About a thousand Brumby ghosts
|
Hunters bushmen bandits
|
And fence wire on the posts
|
Felt that ebony skin
|
And felt the whole of the ivory coast
|
Not flying away flying away
|
Never been across the ocean man
|
You didn't sail it out across the sea
|
You didn't dig it for gold
|
In a little black hole
|
Of all the things to be
|
You've got Summer light freckles
|
You didn't need your ABC
|
Not flying away flying away
|
|
Chorus ~
|
Oh I walking in the dreamtime
|
The dreamtime
|
Oh I walking in the sun
|
|
Now your lying in a door way brother
|
Land of black fatigue
|
You say we braved the ocean
|
We crossed ten thousand leagues
|
You all stung the lashes
|
Of a hundred Captain Queegues
|
Not flying away flying away
|
Cut the name across your backbone
|
Stretch the skin across the drum
|
Set 'em up in some old island
|
Today 'till kingdom come
|
Stole that pinch gut pudding
|
Covered it with rum
|
Not flying away flying away
|
|
Chorus ~ x 2
|
|
Walking in the sun
|
|
Bridge ~
|
Spirits in the sky
|
Watch them roll by
|
Look & listen
|
Not flying away
|
Flying away
|
