[Verse 1]
EShould ever I go back to Camooweal,
T'would be in the spring when desert flowers B7bloom.
Oh the spinifex I know would still be there
And the desert pea would brighten up the Egloom
Should Eever I go back to Camooweal
One thing is sure I'd not be twenty-Atwo,
As if that day when I first wandered Ethere,
But B7mem'ries stay with me as mem'ries Edo.
[Verse 2]
EHow fresh her mem'ry keeps for still I feel
The velvet softness of her auburn B7hair,
And see again the moonbeams in her eyes
As I did so long ago when I was Ethere.
Youth Ecalled to youth in that now distant day.
I did not heed, my heart did not Areveal,
And now I know that love was born and Elost
In that B7little border town of CamooEweal.
[Verse 3]
EOh, the long road beckoned on, my feet said go
To search beyond the hills for what I'd B7find.
Although I've wandered far this sunburnt land
I've never found what I have left Ebehind.
Oh the Eburning fire of that other spring
Is now but ashes, and the hurt won't Aheal
Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the Escar,
So I B7think I'll not go back to CamooEweal,
Time Aheals all wounds they say, but leaves the Escar
So I B7think I'll not go back to CamooEweal.
No, I B7think I'll not go back to CamooEweal.

[Verse 1]

Should ever I go back to Camooweal,

T'would be in the spring when desert flowers bloom.

Oh the spinifex I know would still be there

And the desert pea would brighten up the gloom

Should ever I go back to Camooweal

One thing is sure I'd not be twenty-two,

As if that day when I first wandered there,

B7 E

But mem'ries stay with me as mem'ries do.

[Verse 2]

How fresh her mem'ry keeps for still I feel

The velvet softness of her auburn hair,

And see again the moonbeams in her eyes

As I did so long ago when I was there.

Youth called to youth in that now distant day.

I did not heed, my heart did not reveal,

And now I know that love was born and lost

B7 E

In that little border town of Camooweal.

[Verse 3]

Oh, the long road beckoned on, my feet said go

To search beyond the hills for what I'd find.

Although I've wandered far this sunburnt land

I've never found what I have left behind.

Oh the burning fire of that other spring

Is now but ashes, and the hurt won't heal

Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the scar,

B7 E

So I think I'll not go back to Camooweal,

A E

Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the scar

B7 E

So I think I'll not go back to Camooweal.

B7 E

No, I think I'll not go back to Camooweal.
