'Neath the trees out there, 'neath the trees out there

Out there, ooh-ooh-ooh

In the early days (in the early days), in the search for gold (in search for gold)

When the fever seeks (when the fever seeks), men's very soul (men's very soul)

In an endless stream from everywhere, they searched for gold out there

And now they sleep there endlessly

And the whispering bush their secrets keep

Where no one knows and no one sees

Their bleaching bones lie 'neath the trees

Ooh-ooh-ooh

One reckless youth (one reckless youth), and a miner old (and a miner old)

They found the vein (they found the vein), so rich in gold (so rich in gold)

But the young one schemed and wouldn't share, he left the old man out there

And now they sleep there endlessly

And the whispering bush their secrets keep

Where no one knows and no one sees

Their bleaching bones lie 'neath the trees

'Neath the trees out there, 'neath the trees out there, out there, out there
