Pigeon / Jundamurra Lyrics & Tabs by Paul Kelly And The Messengers
Pigeon / Jundamurra
guitar chords 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
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
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
Pigeon - that's the name we gave him
But he's got another name
It's spreading all across the valleys
Jundamurra! - 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
He disappeared like smoke into a haze
Pigeon - that's the name we gave him
Pigeion - putting me to shame
I do this job because I have to
I don't say that he's to blame
Jundamurra! - how I hate that name
