The Camel Boy


They called him Camel Boy
But he was a man
He walked behind us with a billy
He tended the campfire and he made the tea
Drowned in the colours we didn't see

And the ghost gums stand gleaming white
Showed him a paint brush he showed us the light
I apologise for the condescension
Paid no attention to the pain of the Camel Boy

It's Namatjira he became the one
We remember all alone
Under a huge sky with a gentle hand
Painted the pictures of an ancient land

What fools we were what did we mean
Dressed in white to meet the queen
Take down her picture hang up a ghost gum
Put up a landscape by the Camel Boy

'Cause her majesty was in his eye
The 'sleeping lubra', the Aranda sky
I apologisefor the condescension
Paid no attention to the pain of the Camel Boy

And the ghost gums stand gleaming white
Showed him a paint brush he showed us the light
Drowned in the colours we didn't see
What a man was he Albert the Camel Boy
Albert the Camel Boy
Namatjira the Camel Boy
