Anita Heiss (intro):

"Here's Pamela Young singing the words of Chris Robinson's song 'Arabanoo'. See if you can pick the tune."

MUSIC

"All for the sake of learning a language All for the sake of the things that we do They caught a man and they called him Manly Even though his name is Arabanoo

He walked in chains through the streets of Sydney People gathered round to see what they found The women all swooned at his courteous nature The manliest man in Sydney Town.

Arabanoo (repeat)

Take me home, I wanna go back Call that justice, don't wanna know Take me home, I wanna go back Back to the land I used to know

Arabanoo was kept in Sydney Set him up well and treated him fine Couldn't keep him from the new diseases Arabanoo went into decline

Arabanoo (repeat)"
