Slim Dusty - Camooweal

^EShould ever I go back to Camooweal, T'would be in the spring when desert flowers ^B7bloom.

And the desert pea would brighten up the ^Egloom Should ^Eever I go back to Camooweal One thing is sure I'd not be twenty-^Atwo, As if that day when I first wandered ^Ethere, But ^B7mem'ries stay with me as mem'ries ^Edo.

^EHow fresh her mem'ry keeps for still I feel The velvet softness of her auburn ^B7hair,

As I did so long ago when I was ^Ethere. Youth ^Ecalled to youth in that now distant day. I did not heed, my heart did not ^Areveal, And now I know that love was born and ^Elost In that ^B7little border town of Camoo^Eweal.

^EOh, the long road beckoned on, my feet said go To search beyond the hills for what I'd ^Efind.

I've never found what I have left ^Ebehind. Oh the ^Eburning fire of that other spring Is now but ashes, and the hurt won't ^Aheal Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the ^Escar, So I ^B7think I'll not go back to Camoo^Eweal,

Time ^Aheals all wounds they say, but leaves the ^Escar So I ^B7think I'll not go back to Camoo^Eweal.

No, I ^B7think I'll not go back to Camoo^Eweal.
