Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My name is Windradyne
I am Wurundjeri
You may not know my face
Or my history
I was born on the plains
Before the white man come
With his cattle and his sheep
The horses and the gun
[Instrumental]
As a child, I can recall
The song lines that we sang
Hunt possum, kangaroo
With spear and boomerang
One day in the bush
Stood three ghostly men
Who said our land is theirs
And the trouble soon began
[Chorus]
My name is Windradyne
They call me Saturday
Come Sunday, I'll be gone
In the bush, I melt away
I fought for my people
On this country where I lay
My name is Windradyne
Remember me that way
[Instrumental]
I see smoke of many fires
In the morning light
Some are ours, some are theirs
Left burning through the night
I know they tried to pin me
For the trouble on King's Plane
But I threw a spear in self-defense
Of a musket in the rain
[Chorus]
My name is Windradyne
They call me Saturday
Come Sunday, I'll be gone
In the bush, I melt away
I fought for my people
On this country where I lay
My name is Windradyne
Remember me that way
[Instrumental]
We came across a Homestead
Lit by candle light
Thirsty for revenge
From our camp attack last night
A white boy met us at the door
Speaking native tongue
We left his house and headed off
As quietly as we come
[Bridge]
And just like every story
This one has an end
Without all the glory
Bestowed on other men
They increased the reward
To try and change my luck
But my people who fought with me
Well, they never gave me up
[Chorus]
My name is Windradyne
They call me Saturday
Come Sunday, I'll be gone
In the bush, I melt away
I fought for my people
On this country where I lay
My name is Windradyne
Remember me that way
[Outro]
My name is Windradyne
Remember me that way
