Lyrics:
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 apologise... For 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
