Pigeon/Jundamurra |
My name is Officer O’Malley |
My job is hunting Pigeon down |
I don’t like this kind of work much |
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 |
Jandamarra! |
— 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 |
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 |
Jandamarra!- how I hate that name |
