1
Way out back of the Coolgardie
2
Round the turn of the century
3
Two riders came out of the west
4
They were lookin' for the colour of gold
5
Trading on an old red blanket
6
Took 'em in a young boy
7
Passed him on to a pearl lugger
8
That was Java bound outa Roebuck Bay
9
The crew were mainly Manila men
10
And the young boy must have known
11
He'd never be back now
12
Down in the red sand
13
Manila-man got the machete
14
Manila-man cut him down cold
15
Die with the Balander boss on a lugger
16
Could not have been more
17
Than twelve years old
18
Looking out on a clear sky
19
As the sun beats down on her head
20
A mother alone
21
Fails to understand
22
And as the long years go by
23
Just an old red blanket to dry
24
The tears for the son
25
Who'll never be home
26
Down in the red sand
