Lyrics:
Should ever I go back to Camooweal
'Twould be in the spring when desert flowers bloom
Oh, the spinifex I know would still be there
And the desert pea would brighten up the gloom
Should ever I go back to Camooweal
One thing is sure I'd not be twenty-two
As on that day when I first wandered there
But mem'ries stay with me as mem'ries do
[Instrumental]
How fresh her mem'ry keeps for still I feel
The velvet softness of her auburn hair
And see again the moonbeams in her eyes
As I did so long ago when I was there
Youth called to youth in that now distant day
I did not heed, my heart did not reveal,
And now I know that love was born and lost
In that little border town of Camooweal
[Instrumental]
Oh, the long road beckoned on, my feet said go
To search beyond the hills for what I find
Although I've wandered far this sunburned land
I've never found what I have left behind
Oh the burning fire of that other spring
Is now but ashes and the hurt won't heal
Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the scar
So I think I'll not go back to Camooweal
Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the scar
So I think I'll not go back to Camooweal
No I think I'll not go back to Camooweal
Slim Dusty, AO MBE (born David Gordon Kirkpatrick; 13 June 1927 - 19 September 2003) was an Australian country music singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He was an Australian cultural icon and one of the country's most awarded stars, with a career spanning nearly seven decades and numerous recordings. He was known to record songs in the legacy of Australia, particularly of bush life and renowned Australian bush poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson that represented the lifestyle. The music genre was coined the "bush ballad", a style first made popular by Buddy Williams, the first artist to perform the genre in Australia, and also for his many trucking songs. Dusty was the first Australian to have a No. 1 international hit song, with a version of Gordon Parsons' "A Pub with No Beer". He received an unequalled 37 Golden Guitar and two Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the Country Music Roll of Renown

Thanks slim

[@matthewcuellar7879]

Speaking as a Yank, I have to say that Slim Dusty is among my favorites. Australian country music is a gift I was blessed to discover as a young man.

[@roostersbays95]

yep.there was a past ,present and future reality to his material..

[@7884golfguru]

Slim is a legend down under

[@mkkrupp2462]

Glad to hear you like It!

[@williamotter5419]

There should have been a whole lot more of his music played in this Country

[@pdljgilmour]

There are two types of people, Slim Dusty Fans and those who won't admit it

[@MelindaMcAllister884]

I got my first license in Camooweal. While travelling around Australia doing mustering and station hand work. I live in the city now, and people don't believe that I ever turned my hand to that type of work. Never judge a book by its cover. Mustering and station work is one of the best memories of my life.

[@MattsonTroy]

You're right. I love his songs that I kept playing over and over again, Slim sang wisely and beautiful songs. How are you doing Melinda?

[@koolreven]

I drove 1000km out of my way on a recent road trip just to stay at Camooweal, played this on the way in and way out, brought me to tears, thanks Slim!

[@FlySoGood]

That's pretty silly

[@lesoheir8884]

Can’t believe that it is 20 years since you went Slim

[@judydoherty4203]

I’ve been to Camooweal to the outdoor movies. Whites on the right and aboriginals on the left and all the dogs in town up the front howling at the screen!! We all got legless, o to be young again.

There's a sort of a calming effect when listening to #SlimDusty - “King of Australian Country”.🇦🇺🤠 Featured on the October 25th, 2022 #GoogleDoodle.

[@venderstrat]

Used to (occasionally) go out to Camooweal when I was a teacher in Mount Isa.

[@petersheedy7385]

Had an opportunity to visit Greenvale and stay a night at Three Rivers Hotel and loved it. Nice to see that Slim Dusty who sang the song and Stan Coster who wrote it are suitably recognised. The 3 rivers are the Star, Clark and the Burdekin.
