[C#]
[E] Everybody [A] called him Dingo, he didn't sing my [E] name.
Aboriginal [B] and Asian blood ran 50-50 in [E] his veins.
With skin like [A] saddle leather, an inscrutable [E] kind of smile.
Beneath the brim of [B] his Akubra, he had the dream in [E] his eyes.
She had a bloodline back [A] to Europe, her boss's daughter Mary [E] Ann.
Home for Christmas [B] at his station, from a boarding [E] school in Kansas.
With such a perfect face and figure, [A] the boys would blush when she [E] walked by.
Behind her back they called [B] her princess, cause she had the distance in [E] her eyes.
[Em] Oh, the ringer [A] and the princess, [B] the dingo and [E] the deer.
[B] [C#m] I'll tell you [A] their story if [B] you want [E] to hear.
December rain fell [A] with a vengeance from a [E] cyclone in the Gulf.
Bone-dried gullies [B] turned to rivers, and plains became a [E] sea of mud.
So the boss brought everyone [A] together, the family and the [E] station hands.
To open gates and knock [B] down fences, and give the stock a [E] fighting chance.
Well, the princess, she [A] was out there, [E] riding right alongside the men.
Leading horses [B] up to safety, trying to bring the [E] stragglers in.
Till she heard a [A] wild commotion, a little further [E] down the way.
A mare was trying to [B] cross a gully, and its foal was being washed [E] away.
Now the young have always [A] been impulsive, the princess had no [E] second thoughts.
She rode her mount into [B] that gully, trying to save the [E] drowning horse.
But in the midst of the [A] raging waters, her pony lost its step [E] and fell.
With her foot caught [B] in the stirrup, the princess disappeared [E] as well.
Dingo saw the whole [A] thing happen, and like a man possessed [E] he rode.
Straight into that [B] swollen gully, about a hundred [E] yards below.
By the time the [A] others got there, all hope of finding her [E] was gone.
Till Dingo staggered [B] from the water, with the princess in [E] his arms.
Oh, the ringer [A] and the princess, [B] the dingo and [E] the deer.
[B] [C#m] I'll [B] tell you [A] their story, [F#m] [B] if you want [E] to hear it.
Now the princess [A] owns the station, her dad the boss has long [E] since died.
And although she [B] never married, Dingo's always [E] by her side.
And still the gossips [A] talk about them, even after [E] all these years.
About the ringer [B] and the princess, the dingo and [E] the deer.
About the ringer [B] and the princess, the dingo and [E] the deer.
