Aussie Witch Doctor

Aussie Witch Doctor Witchdoctor could cure you of madness With a chant and the words of his song the Dreamtime spirits took sadness returned you to ok , be long Some of his people were now big old rocks The dreamtime it told of their fate Whistlecocking , if you failed initiation……flint castration rite No breeding with men of this state The bone she was pointed man faded away Knew he was death anointed His death song they were a singing To die just no other way Faith is the root of his being The power can lift you so strong Witch doctor was now all seeing Emu eggs now coming along…………….when the gidgee tree blossoms Tribal warrior keen eyed could track a geegar……..tiny black ant Or Porkypine who clawed the sand two ways………a special treat You didn’t know if he was coming or going Spear thrower would eat him today. The Woomera gave the spear great power Through a solid door it would slip Tossed at least 100 yards If it gets you, no life in your grip Don Johnson 2-4-11
