The rider left from Port Augusta town that fine day
Carrying a letter to the Grey homestead in his way
But he was lost on the trail through Pichi Richi Pass
Last seen riding from Hawker town on his morning last
And the Legend of this horseman grew as he was seen
In the gray early morning light as the sunlight beams
Reflect off the sides of the rocky Pass in the dawn's light
As he is noticed looking out from ridge line in his oversight
One day we travelled through the Pass as tourists we drove
After leaving Hawker early that morning as the sunlight dawn rose
We saw the Horseman on the ridge with his back to the rising sun
As we passed him he saluted us with a look of a forlorn lost one.
