Lyrics to a song that I have written regarding the Stolen Generation....
WILDCARD.
The first time I met Julliette
She was travelling my way
And she told me all the stories of
Those Dreamtime ways
And you've got to believe her
She's from Kakadu way
She's got a hundred different reasons why
She's headed back that way
Chorus
Where she was dealt a Wildcard, Wild card one day
Why was she dealt a Wildcard, Wildcard that way.
Oh' if you're looking for Julliette
I know just where she'll be
She'll be thinking of the Dreamtime
Underneath that old Boab tree
And that story of Julliette
Stolen Aboriginal child
Still with the memories of Kakadu
In her heart still running wild.
chorus
Just ask Julliettes Mama
She'll tell you of the day
When them fulla's from the Welfare come
Took Julliette away
Oh they took her to a white mans world
They were two worlds apart
But I'll tell you that Julliette
Still had Kakadu in her heart.
Chorus.
