Slim Dusty - Little boy lost

^BbIn the wild New England ranges came the ^Ebword one fateful day To ^Bbevery town and village that a ^Abboy had lost is ^Ebway All the town ^Bbfolk quickly gathered and the ^Ebwild bush horses tossed And they ^Bbwent out to search the ranges for this ^Ablittle boy ^Eblost They ^Bbwent out to search the ranges for this ^Ablittle boy ^Eblost

Came the n^Bbight Came the ^Ebmornin' Another ^Bbnight Another d^Ebawnin'

^AbAnd a mother weeps in silence as she ^Ebkneels before the cross And she ^Abprays to God in h^Bbeaven for her ^Ablittle boy ^Eblost

^BbThe blazin' sun beat down upon the ^Ebearth that final day And with ^Bbheavy hearts they prayed to ^AbGod above to show the ^Ebway When from a scrubby gu^Bblly came a voice they'd ne'er fo^Ebrgot Where's my ^Bbdaddy, Where's my daddy, Cried the ^Ablittle boy ^Eblost Where's my ^Bbdaddy, where's my daddy, Cried the ^Ablittle boy l^Ebost

In the ^Bbwild New England ranges there's a ^Ebboy that's known so well There's a s^Bbtory that the town folk and bush^Ammen often ^Ebtell How he ^Bbfought the rugged country where ^Ebman had seldom crossed

^BbAnd a mother's prayers were answered for her ^Ablittle boy l^Ebost
