Paul Kelly - Pigeon/Jundamurra lyrics

My name is Officer O'Malley 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 k**ed 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 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 One time we had him in a gully One time we had him in a cave Each time we closed in on our quarry 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 Jandamarra!- how I hate that name
