Letra de Red Sand (2011 Remastered)
Way out back of the Coolgardie 'Round the turn of the century Two riders came out of the west They were lookin' for the colour of gold Trading on an old red blanket Took 'em in a young boy Passed him on to a pearl lugger That was Java bound outa Roebuck BayCrew were mainly Manila men And the young boy must have known He'd never be back now Down in the red sandManila-man got the machete Manila-man cut him down cold Die with the Balander boss on a lugger Could not have been no More than twelve years oldLooking out on a clear sky As the sun beats down on her head A mother alone Fails to understand As the long years go by Just an old red blanket to dry The tears for the son Who'll never be home Down in the red sandLooking out on a clear sky As the sun beats down on her head A mother alone Fails to understand As the long years go by Just an old red blanket to dry The tears for the son Who'll never be home Down in the red sandWay down in the red sandDown in the red sandDown in the red sandIn the red sand
