Paul Kelly - Pigeon Jundamurra lyrics
Your rating:
Pigeon/Jundamurra lyrics taken from So much water so close to home My name is officer O'Maily My job is hunting pigeon down I don't like this kind of work much though I'm sick of sleeping on the ground Pigeon-that's the name we gave him Pigeon used to be so tame 'Til one day he turned against his master Killed him, broke his brother's chains Now pigeon could track the holy spirit But he don't leave no tracks at all I['ve been running 'round in circles I've been feeling like a fool Pigeon-that's the name we gave him But he's got another name It's spreading all across the valleys Jundamurra!-like a burning flame One time we had him in a gully One time we had him in a cave Each time we closed in on our quarry He disappeared like smoke into a haze Pigeon-that's the name we gave him Pigeon-putting me to shame I do this job because I have to I don't say that he's to blame Jundamurra!-how I hate that name
