Songtekst en Videoclip van Slim Dusty - Blue Hills (in the Distance)
With blue hi..ills ...... in the distance,
It's morning and we're gazin' through the window of the Ghan,
Rockin' rollin' rollin' out across the timeless land,
Winding thru the spinifex and miles of burning sand,
With blue hi..ills ...... in the distance.
People having breakfast in the comfort of the train,
Diesel engine humming as she echos by the range,
Building up momentum as we coast across the plains,
With blue hi..ills ...... in the distance.
Big old red buck kangaroo he stops to sniff the air,
Shakes his head and looks about for danger anywhere,
Old man emu makes a dash with the youngster in his care,
With blue hi..ills ...... in the distance.
Hey!
[Instrumental]
Namajira's famous gums and ochre coloured plains,
Sandy creeks that flow nowhere excepting when it rains,
Mulga stands and desert lands that time has never changed,
With blue hi..ills ...... in the distance.
Willy Willy winds it's way across the great expanse,
Sweeping up the rolly polly in it's spiral dance, hey,
Building up with fury as it winds across the plain,
With blue hi..ills ...... in the distance.
It's morning and we're gazin' through the window of the Ghan,
Rockin' rollin' rollin' out across the timeless land,
Winding thru the spinifex and miles of burning sand,
With blue hi..ills ...... in the distance.
With blue hi..ills ...... in the distance.
