Went a`walking in the sunshine   About a thousand Brumby ghosts   Hunters bushmen bandits   And fence wire on the posts   Felt that ebony skin   And felt the whole of the ivory coast   Not flying away flying away   Never been across the ocean man   You didn't sail it out across the sea   You didn't dig it for gold   In a little black hole   Of all the things to be   You've got Summer light freckles   You didn't need your ABC   Not flying away flying away      Chorus ~   Oh I walking in the dreamtime   The dreamtime   Oh I walking in the sun      Now your lying in a door way brother   Land of black fatigue   You say we braved the ocean   We crossed ten thousand leagues   You all stung the lashes   Of a hundred Captain Queegues   Not flying away flying away   Cut the name across your backbone   Stretch the skin across the drum   Set 'em up in some old island   Today 'till kingdom come   Stole that pinch gut pudding   Covered it with rum   Not flying away flying away      Chorus ~ x 2      Walking in the sun      Bridge ~   Spirits in the sky   Watch them roll by   Look & listen   Not flying away   Flying away
