The Birdsville Track (Remaster 1996) - Slim Dusty

Way out in heartbreak corner

In Australia's far outback

 

The desert broods it's secrets

 

Along the birdsville track

 

A family came and perished

Oh what a tragic end

 

That fierce relentless desert

 

Has claimed so many men

 

I've learned how thirst

Can craze the mind in cruel

Heat outback

 

And I grieve for that poor

Family along the birdsville

Track

 

The great white ball of fire

Rode o'er the cloudless

Dome

 

And scorched all living creatures

Upon the sand and stone

 

Way out in heartbreak corner

They went and ne'er came

Back

 

And another story's buried there

Along the birdsville track

 

Then twilight fell with calmness

 

As silent as a tomb

 

And phantom streams reflected

 

The rising of the moon

 

The days and nights that followed

Brought panic and despair

 

And blinding sandstorms raged

As though to drown a mother's

Prayer

 

Then demons of the desert

Came to claim their tortured

Minds

 

And searching bushmen came

Too late and read the tragic

Signs

 

And now beside a coolabah

Where desert grasses wave

 

The brumby stallion leads

His mob to skirt the new

Made graves

 

Way out in heartbreak corner

They went and ne'er came

Back

 

May twilight bring them peace

At night along the birdsville

Track

 

The dingoes howl

So dismally the lonely curlews cry

 

As though in deepest

Mourning for those poor souls who

Died

 

Way out in heartbreak

Corner in Australia's far outback

 

The desert broods

It's secrets along the birdsville track

 

Oh the desert broods

 

It's secrets along the birdsville track
