Pigeon/Jundamurra

Lyrics

My name is Officer O'Malley
 And my job is hunting Pigeon down
 I don't like this kind of work much
 I'm sick of sleeping on the ground
 Pigeon, that's the name we gave him
 Pigeon used to be so tame
 'Til one day he turned against his master
 Killed him, broke his brother's chains
 Now Pigeon could track the Holy Spirit
 But he don't leave no tracks at all
 I've been running 'round in circles
 Yeah, I've been feeling like a fool
 Pigeon, that's the name we gave him
 But he's got another name
 It's spreading all across the valleys
 Jandamarra, like a burning flame
 ♪
 Now, one time we had him in a gully
 One time we had him in a cave
 Each time we closed in on our quarry
 He'd disappear like smoke into a cave
 Pigeon, that's the name we gave him
 Pigeon, putting me to shame
 I do this job because I have to
 I don't say that he's to blame
 No, I don't say that he's to blame
 Jandamarra, how I hate that name
