Taipan - 2011 Remastered

Taipan
He'll get you when he can
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
He'll get you when he can

Makes his home in a mangrove tree
Sleep plantation family
A white man planter, Bundaberg rum
Childhood rattle, trumpet and drum

Stay with me
Stay with me
Oh, yeah
Until the morning comes

Taipan
He'll get you when he can
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
He'll get you when he can

These days, I can't explain
But I can smell the monsoon rain
Seasons come, and seasons turn
And more and more canefields burning
Early in the morning, the afternoon
Our pathways blazed in a mangrove moon
Burning down my eyes

Railroad goes, Kalamia mill
If the heat don't get you, Taipan will
Six o'clock, the whistle sings
C.S.R. is the sugar-cane king

Stay with me (Railroad goes, Kalamia mill)
(If the heat don't get you, Taipan will)
Stay with me (six o'clock, the whistle sings)

Taipan
He'll get you when he can
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
He'll get you when he can
