The Prettiest Girl in the Kimberley

Where is the glory when war is won?

A man hits the bottle and belts his son

So I ran away to the cattle run

Where I learned to fight and swallow rum

And I learnt to go barefoot you see

Just like an aborigine

For one of their tribal on to me

The prettiest girl in the Kimberly

Woo woo woo woo

But i could not marry the girl I adore

Black and white was against the law

They chain you up to a boab tree

For kissing an aborigine

But a ringer's heart is immune to pain

A bull rips your leg and you carry on

You grit your teeth and you cry alone

And ride for a week till the poison's gone

Woohoowoo woohoowoo

Me and my dog we're not alone

The pension provides us with beef and a bone

I've given up drifting and drinking rum

We're up and about before the sun

And I can still quarter a beast in a dash

Have your freezer full of spare ribs in a flash

And I still dream of the one for me

The prettiest girl in the Kimberly

Woohoowoo woohoowoo

Woohoowoo haaawoo

Yes I still dream of the one for me

The prettiest girl in the Kimberly
