Taipan - Live

Taipan
He'll get you when he can
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
He'll get you when he can (come on)

Make his home in a mangrove tree
Sleep plantation family
White man planter, Bundaberg rum
Childhood rattle, trumpet and drum

Stay with me, oh yeah
Baby, won't you 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 (come on)

These days, I can't explain
I can tell the monsoon rain
Seasons come, seasons turn
More and more, cane fields burning
Early in the morning, the afternoon
Pathways blazed on a mangrove moon
Burning down my eyes

(Railroad goes, Kalamia mill)
(If the heat don't get you, the 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, the 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
