Sun's so high, waterhole's dry,
I wanna give up but I don't know why,
Sun's so hot that meat cooks in the shade.
Saw a lamb and it was chocking on death,
It's mother kicked and broken it's neck,
I 'ain't ever seen blood and milk mix so divine,
I never such beauty so malign.
Brother said bourbon never done me good,
Neither did a face full of campfire soot,
Them burning Alport coals sting like a b****.
I catch a lift on the last bus home,
To the end of the line for the coppers I own,
I get thrown off, hit on, beat up before I drown,
In the murky backwaters I lay my body down.
Fifty stars above my head
and thirteen scars run through my chest,
Blue and red blood f*** up my veins.
Blackened eyes and purple nose,
I got missing teeth, got a lot of those.
Marygold you never done me no harm.
Marygold in debt to you,
Don't ever wanna say the things I've thought of you.
Marygold I wrote you a love song.
