Slim Dusty - Mangrove Boogie Kings Lyrics
mangrove boogie kings by slim dusty
they came from mangrove mountain where the hoped sprayed waters flowed
they had their own particular kind of rock ‘n’roll
up and down the eastern seaboard a trail of broken strings
told the tale of these wild ones, the mangrove boogie kings
their mountain music rhythm was faith and it was proud
like their cars and like their clothes they were just as loud
when chris piper did his emu strut and he gave his rebel scream
oh the crowds all loved the music of the mangrove boogie kings
they’d go back to mangrove mountain to revive their repertoire
and the river folks still talk about the sounds of their guitars
then they’d come back and face the world prepared for anything
oh they were loud, they were proud the mangrove boogie kings
they mingled chubby checker & carl perkins to their style
hey they pushed country music down a fiery country mile
they spread their music overland from bourke to alice springs
and the outback knew the river sounds of the mangrove boogie kings
hey they’d go back to the mountain to revive their repertoire
and the river folks still talk about the sounds of their guitars
then they’d come back and face the world prepared for anything
oh they were loud, they were proud the mangrove boogie kings
