lirik lagu graeme connors - the ringer and the princess
everybody called him dingo
he didn’t seem to mind the name
aboriginal and asian blood
ran 50/50 in his veins
with skin like saddled leather
and an unscrupulous kind of smile
beneath the brim of his akubra
he had the dreaming in his eyes
she had a bloodline back to europe
the bosses’ daughter maryanne
home for christmas at the station
from a boarding school in cairns
with such a perfect face and figure
the boys would blush when she walked by
behind her back they called her princess
causе she had the distance in hеr eyes
oh the ringer and the princess
the dingo and the deer
i’ll tell you a story
if you wanna hear
december rain fell with a vengeance
from a cyclone in the gulf
bone dry gullies turned to rivers
and plains became a sea of mud
so the boss brought everyone together
the family and the stations hands
to open gates and knock down fences
and give the stock a fighting chance
well the princess she was out there
riding right alongside the men
leading horses up to safety
trying to bring the stragglers in
till she heard a wild commotion
a little further down the way
a mare was trying to cross a gully
and it’s foal was being washed away
now the young have always being compulsive
the princess had no second thoughts
she rode a mountain to that gully
trying to save the drowning horse
but in the midst of the raging waters
her pony lost it’s step and fell
with her foot caught in the stirrup
the princess disappeared as well
dingo saw the whole thing happen
and like a man possessed he rode
straight into that swollen gully
about a 100 yards below
by the time the others got there
all hope of finding her was gone
till dingo staggered form the water
with the princess in his arms
oh the ringer and the princess
the dingo and the deer
i’ll tell you a story
if you wanna hear
now the princess owns the station
her dad the boss has long since died
and although she never married
dingo’s always by her side
and still the gossips talk about them
even after all these years
’bout the ringer and the princess
the dingo and the deer
’bout the ringer and the princess
the dingo and the deer
