Tell Me Why - Live
There's many great loves in history
That we know about
But a tale of two lovers that was told to me
Makes me want to scream and shout
Like Romeo and Juliet
A love story you won't forget
Tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?
Snowball Roach and Nellie Austin loved each other well
Oh and I don't think that they argued often
Somebody broke the spell
Yeah they broke the spell and broke their hearts
And they drifted far apart
But tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?
Well they tore two hearts apart
Left them bleeding all alone
And they threw them in a river made of stone
Oh they're dead now
Tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?
Tore two hearts apart
Left them bleeding all alone
And they threw them in the river made of stone
Oh they're dead now
He was from the Bundjalung clan and she was Kirrae Whurrong
He was a big strong fighting man
She was proud and strong
Their love was great
Their love was free
But what happened to them was a tragedy
So tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?
Well they tore two hearts apart
Left them bleeding all alone
And they threw them in the river made of stone
Made of stone
Made of stone
Yeah, they threw them in the river
Yeah, they threw them in the river
Made of stone
Yeah, they threw them in the river
Made of stone
Yeah, they threw them in the river
Made of stone
Yeah, they threw them in the river
Made of stone
Made of stone
Made of stone
Made of stone
That we know about
But a tale of two lovers that was told to me
Makes me want to scream and shout
