The Aboriginals' Song
Do you see the country over there in the sunWhere there's plenty of work to be done?
There the prisoners were all sent
By the courts of England, to the other side of the world
Over to the country where the Aboriginals lived
[Chorus]
Abo, Abo, Aboriginals
Abo, Abo, Aboriginals
Over in the country where the Aboriginals lived
It wasn't humane
It wasn't smart
It wasn't working from one evening to the next
They chased them like animals
They shot them for sport
Britain's colony wasn't for their sort
But this was the country where the Aboriginals lived
[Chorus]
English was established as the colony's language
Civilisation was established on the prarie's expanse
Economy and law and order were established
There was no need to look back on the past
Over in the country where the Aboriginals lived
[Chorus]
We go there on holiday, we go there to live
We go there all white and rich and God-fearing
And in the evenings on our trips1
We can listen to myths and lose ourselves fully
In the history of the country where the Aboriginals lived
[Chorus]
And if we someday venture into the bowels of the country
We can see the descendants of those that lost their land
Still faces, surprised eyes
Longing for days before the white plague
To the country where their ancestors once lived
[Chorus]
Maybe when we see it clearly
What belongs to people and belongs to land
We can see our own true black faces
Hold longing to the heart for the Wales that was
Over in the country where our ancestors lived
Abo, Abo, Aboriginals
Abo, Abo, Aboriginals
But are you and I Aboriginals too?
