(The Ballad of) Queenie and Rover
Em G
Queenie was born on the banks of the
D C
great Ord River, 1930, maybe
Em G D C
Her mother was black, her daddy white
Em G
Papa was a fine horse-breaker
D C
Mama sang the songs of the old lawmakers
Em G
She used to hide young Queenie in the bush
D C
And rub black charcoal all over her hair and her face
Em G
Every time the police came around
D C
Looking for any blond haired, brown skinned children
Em G D C
To round ‘em up and take ‘em on down town
Em G D C
Shine on, shine on, immortal one, aha
Em G D C
Shine on, shine on, immortal one, aha
Em G
Rover was born in the desert,
D C
he lived out there ‘til his mother died
Em G D C
Then he moved around a lot from place to place
Em G D C
Bedford Downs, Bow River, Lissadel, Wyndham
Em G D C
Building fences, working as a stock man
Em G
Then he had a series of dreams
D C
He started painting what he'd heard and he'd seen
Em G C D
Rainbow serpent, Krill Krill, Cyclone Tracy, the killing fields
Em G D C
Everything that lives and breathes
Em G D C
Ride on, ride on, immortal one, aha
Em G D C
Ride on, ride on, immortal one, aha
Em G D C
Your story will always run
Em G
When Rover and Queenie were young
D C
They met out on New Texas Down station
Em G D C
She worked as a cook there for a long, long time
Em G
She said, “Hey, Cowboy” later on she said
D C Em G D C
“Nice boy, good worker, top rider, lucky one, that one”
Em G
One day a mean horse ripped the scalp from his head
D C
She stitched him up with a boiled needle and thread
Em G
Good as any doctor, they were friends ever after
D C
She said, “I want to paint," he said, “I’ll teach ya”
Em G D C
They died within months of each other
Em G D C
Ride on, ride on, immortal one, aha
Em G D C
Shine on, ride on, immortal one, aha
