00:00Gather round, listen now to a tale of old
00:03In the heart of the bush where stories unfold
00:06Born in the land of the myrrh-turned trees
00:20Jackie, Jackie, boy of the breeze
00:23Got in the way with his hunter's might
00:26With Kennedy, he took to the night
00:29Oh, Jackie, Jackie, out on the run
00:38Through the swamps and the shadows under the sun
00:40Hard work and wisdom, he showed his way
00:43Through trials and troubles, oh, he'd never sway
00:46Down to Cape York where the rivers flow
01:01Through thick mangroves, young boy would go
01:04Finding the path amidst danger and fright
01:07Jackie, Jackie was the star burning bright
01:10With every step, the more he learned
01:18Private battles where the whole world burned
01:21Through fogs and fears, he stood so tall
01:24All the spirits of the land would heed his call
01:27Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
01:30Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
01:33Oh, Jackie, Jackie, out on the run
01:36Through the swamps and the shadows under the sun
01:39Hard work and wisdom, he showed his way
01:41Through trials and troubles, oh, he'd never sway
01:44They found them trapped near escape, rivers tied
01:59But would courage boil and he would not hide
02:02Facing the warriors with a heart so bold
02:05In a world full of fear, the stories retold
02:08Kennedy fell but Jackie stood firm
02:17Buried his friend in the toughest of turns
02:19With tears of the earth and the grace of his kin
02:22He whispered a prayer that life would begin
02:25Oh, Jackie, Jackie
02:32Out on the run through the swamps and the shadows
02:35Under the sun, hard work and wisdom
02:38He showed his way through trials and troubles
02:41Oh, he'd never sway
02:42So raise up a toast to the boy in the trees
02:45Through the heart of the land carried on the breeze
02:48Jackie, Jackie, the legend will stay
02:51With courage and craft in the Australian way
02:56Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
03:26Aum
