Lady Roo Rhythm
Down where the red dirt meets the blue sky line She moves
like the wind, light as a design Half lady,
half roo, with eyes like the sun Strong legs carry her where
the rivers run She don’t need no road,
she don’t need no map Heart beats steady like the old earth
tap When the evening comes and the stars come through You can
hear the rhythm rise up from her roots too
Didge-drone low, guitar strings high She carries the land in the lullaby
Every step a beat,
every breath a sound
She’s the wild and the gentle all around
Oh, Lady Roo, leaping through the pines With the ancient rhythm running
through your spine Didge beats hummin’ deep in the chest Country soul
put
to the test Bohemian heart,
wild and free She’s the land and the land is she
110 beats steady, strong and true
That’s the song of the Lady Roo
Her
pouch holds seeds and stories untold Of people and places and days
of old She laughs like rain on a tin roof top Jumps
over fences that the world says stop
She walks between worlds with a barefoot grace A warm kind smile
on her roo-lady face No chains to bind her,
no walls to keep She’s the spirit that runs deep,
deep, deep
Didge-drone low, guitar strings high
She carries the land in the lullaby
Every step a beat,
every breath a sound
She’s the wild and the gentle all around
Oh, Lady
Roo, leaping through the pines With the ancient rhythm running through your
spine
Didge beats hummin’ deep in the chest Country soul put to
the test Bohemian heart,
wild and free She’s the land and the
land is she
110 beats steady, strong and true
That’s the song of the Lady Roo
(Didge solo swells — soft percussion — guitar slow strum)
She don’t ask for much,
just the sky above
Just the open plains and the ones she loves
When the storm clouds gather on the horizon line She stands tall
— she’s fine, she’s fine Roots go down where the earth is
red Spirit soars where the eagles tread
Down where the red dirt meets the blue sky line That’s where
you’ll find her if you take your time Listen close — you’ll
hear it too The heartbeat rhythm of the Lady Roo Mmm… mmm…
didge-drone fades slow Lady Roo,
where the wild
things grow
