Lyrics

The Whispering Bush 'Neath the trees out there, 'neath the trees out there Out there, ooh-ooh-ooh In the early days (In the early days), in the search for gold (In search for gold) When the fever seized (When the fever seized), men's very soul (Men's very soul) In an endless stream from everywhere Thеy searched for gold out therе And now they sleep there endlessly And the whispering bush their secrets keep Where no one knows and no one sees Their bleaching bones lie 'neath the trees Ooh-ooh-ooh One reckless youth (One reckless youth), and a miner old (And a miner old) They found the vein (They found the vein), so rich in gold (So rich in gold) But the young one schemed and wouldn't share He left the old man out there And now they sleep there endlessly And the whispering bush their secrets keep Where no one knows and no one sees Their bleaching bones lie 'neath the trees 'Neath the trees out there, 'neath the trees out there Out there, out there Little Boy Lost In the wild New England ranges came the word one fateful day To every town and village that a boy had lost his way All the townsfolk quickly gathered and the wild bush horses tossed As they went to search the ranges for a little boy lost They went out to search the ranges for a little boy lost The blazing sun beat down upon the earth that final day With heavy hearts they prayed to God above to show the way When from a scrubby gully came the voice they've ne'er forgot Where's my daddy, where's my daddy, cried the little boy lost Where's my daddy, where's my daddy, cried the little boy lost Suvla Bay In an old Australian homestead with the roses 'round the door A girl received a letter, 'twas a message from the war With her mother's arms around her she gave way to sobs and sighs And as she read this letter the tears fell from her eyes Why do I weep, why do I pray? My love's asleep so far away He played his part that April day And now he lies on Suvla Bay
