Red Sand |
| 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 Bay |
| The crew were mainly Manila men |
| And the young boy must have known |
| He’d never be back now |
| Down in the red sand |
| Manila-man got the machete |
| Manila-man cut him down cold |
| Die with the Balander boss on a lugger |
| Could not have been more |
| Than twelve years old |
| Looking out on a clear sky |
| As the sun beats down on her head |
| A mother alone |
| Fails to understand |
| And 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 sand |
