Lyrics The Min Min Light - Slim Dusty

Have you ever heard the story
Of the Queensland Min Min Light?
Heard the old folk telling whispers
How it beckons through the night?
How your horse will rear in terror
And your dog will howl in fright
For there's something mighty here
In that dancing Min Min Light

There's a couple living westward
On a lonely station camp
Each night they keep their visual
By the glimmer of a lamp
They keep their watch together
Till they see it glowing bright
And they sometimes rise and follow
That misty Min Min Light

Years ago they had a youngster
The laughter of their life
Always he would ask them
To see that pretty light
One night when all was sleeping
The lad awoke and so
Looking out the window
He saw that Min Min low

It seemed that he could touch it
Then it moved off far ahead
He ran and laughed behind it
And followed where it led
Across the darkened ridges
Far into the night
The lad was lost forever
To that cruel Min Min Light

His resting place is hidden
His parents hope and pray
Some night that ghostly light may come
And show to them the way
But it quivers and it dances
Through the cold and lonely night
And forever keeps it secret
That cruel Min Min Light

Now I've told to you the story
Of the Queensland Min Min Light
How the old folk telling whispers
How it beckons through the night
And your horse will rear in terror
And your dog will howl in fright
For there's something mighty here
In that dancing Min Min Light
Dancing Min Min Light
Dancing Min Min Light
