Claypan Boogie

Well I was drovin’ cattle on the plains way out
Right in the middle of a blazin’ drought
I camped one night ‘neath the moon and the stars
But I awoke to the rhythm of a beat guitar
‘Twas the claypan boogie I couldn’t believe my eyes
Claypan boogie under the desert skies

Well in the big claypan ‘neath the light of the stars
Saw the Wallaroo shakin’ with a beat guitar
And rockin’ in the circle with a little blue doe
Was a red buck roo shoutin’ go man go
The claypan boogie I couldn’t believe my eyes
Claypan boogie under the desert skies oh yeah

Guitar Solo

Well I rubbed my eyes and I looked again
Just to make sure that I was seein’ plain
There was no mistake about the guitar man
Why he was pickin’ out a rhythm on the big claypan
The claypan boogie I couldn’t believe my eyes
Claypan boogie under the desert skies

Well the other drovers climbed out of their swags
All started rockin’ including their nags
I hear a low beat from the cattle camp
Why the whole mob of cattle were beginning to stamp
The claypan boogie I couldn’t believe my eyes
Claypan boogie under the desert skies

Well I’m an old cattle drover and a desert lair
I dig hot rhythm and I aint no square
Rhythm is a word you don’t understand
Until you’ve heard it comin’ from the big claypan
The claypan boogie I couldn’t believe my eyes
Claypan boogie under the desert skies
Let’s go !!
