l.j hill - pretty bird tree lyrics

[verse 1]
appear on the slopes and plains
in the town of narrabri
on the banks of the namoi river
‘neath the shade of the pretty bird tree
oh, my brother daabi died down there
‘neath the willows, oh so cool
now he walks with our ancestors
underneath the kamilaroi moon

[chorus]
namoi river
you’re home to me
i’ll sit with you ‘neath the pretty bird tree

[verse 2]
early on in life, i took to the booze
and drank away my dreams
i watched my life flow sadly by
like teardrops down the drain
so i headed for the rivеr and became a river rat
i’d worn out all my wеlcomes, no place to hang my hat
oh, there was cranky franky and jackie brown
boodie man, joe creggy and me
and would lay next day like poison dogs
all around the pretty bird tree
[chorus]
namoi river
you’re home to me
i’ll sit with you ‘neath the pretty bird tree

[verse 2]
when the howling wind doth wail
on the namoi late at night
you can hear the old ones singing
as they dance in the pale moonlight
oh, there were many more names i can’t recall
but their faces i still see
old whisper smith’s kind face appears
as i dream of the pretty bird tree

[chorus]
namoi river
you’re home to me
i’ll sit with you ‘neath the pretty bird tree
i’ll be home soon ‘neath the pretty bird tree

[outro]
ooh+ooh
ooh
