Ringer And The Princess
everybody called him dingo he didn't seem to mind the name aboriginal and asian blood ran fifty fifty in his veins with skin like saddle leather an inscrutable kind of smile beneath the brim of his akubra he had the dreaming in his eyes
She had a bloodline back to Europe the boss' daughter Mary Ann Home for Christmas at the station from a boarding school in Cairns with such a perfect face and figure, the boys'd blush when she walked by behind her back they called her princess coz she had the distance in her eyes
Chorus: oh the ringer and the princess the dingo and the deer i'll tell you their story if you want to hear
december rain fell with a vengeance from a cyclone in the gulf bone dry gullies turned to rivers and plains became a sea of mud so the boss brought everyone together the family and the station hands to open gates and knock down fences and give the stock a fighting chance

now the young have always been impulsive the princess had no second thoughts she rode her mount into that gully trying to save the drowning horse but in the midst of the raging waters her pony lost its step and fell with her foot caught in the stirrup the princess disappeared as well
dingo saw the whole thing happen and like a man possessed he rode straight into that swollen gully about a hundred yards below and by the time the others got there all hope of finding her was gone till dingo staggered from the water with the princess in his arms
Chorus (as above)
Now the princess owns the station her dad the boos has long since died and although she never married dingo was always by her side still the gossips talk about them even after all these years about the ringer and the princess, the dingo and the deer about the ringer and the princess, the dingo and the deer
