Jarris Love Song -- Oodgeroo Noonuccal Outside his new-made gunya Jarri With a sudden howl started to make a song. He had something to sing about, he Had been given the pretty Nona, He was making a song about Nona. Jarri never made song to remember But many times he made camp laugh. Now they laughed at Jarri’s love song, They all liked that cheerful fellow, all But sour old Yundi. Jarri sat with legs out Thudding a hollow log with waddy To make rhythm, he raised voice To the yelling chant of the good song-men Nona laughed with them, proud of Jarri, Happy to share all eyes with Jarri. Only old Yundi scowled. And this the love song Jarri sang them: I got belly-bruise from a club, ButI...got...Nona! I got a sore where I sit down But I ... got ... Nona. Lost ‘em firesticks, broke it woomera. No more fishnet, no more tomahawk, Got no gooreen, got no shield, But I... got ... Nona. Gootchi he got bark canoe But I ... got ... Nona. Yarrawan sleep with hunting-dog But I got Nona. Kaa got pitcheri, Gwabba got drone-pipe, Mullawa he got three boomerangs and two dingoes, Walla got possum-rug keep him warm, But I ... got ... Nona. Gecko fella, he got two tails, But I...got...Nona. Frog he only got other frog But I...got...Nona. Gwoon got Weela with big hind part, She got seven kids before he start, Grey old Yundi got withered old Van, But I ... got ... Nona.
