G
They couldn't understand why the drover cried
D
As they buried the drover's boy
G
The Drover had always seemed so hard
D
To the men in his employ
Am G
A bolting horse, the stirrup lost
D
And the drover's boy was dead
Em D Em D
The shovelled dirt, a mumbled word
Em Am
And it's back to the road ahead
C D Em
And forget about the drover's boy
Forget about the drover's boy
G
And they couldn't understand why the drover cut
D
A lock of the dead boy's hair
G
And put it in the band of his battered old hat
D
As they watched him standing there
Am G
And he told them to take the cattle on
D
I'll sit with the boy a while
Em D Em D
A silent thought, a pipe to smoke
Em Am
And it's ride another mile
C D Em
And forget about the drover's boy
Forget about the drover's boy
G
And they couldn't make out why the drover and the boy
D
Always camped so far away
G
For the tall white man and the slim black boy
D
Never had much to say
Am G
And the boy would be gone at the break of dawn
D
Tail the horses, carry on
Em D Em D
While the drover roused the sleeping men
Emn Am
Daylight – hit the road again
C D Em
And follow the drover's boy
Follow the drover's boy
In the Camooweal Pub they talked about
