Ruby Hunter

In Killarney in Victoria Ruby Hunter passed away She was only fifty five years young to die as some would say A legendary singer and Archie Roach's soul-mate Australia's greatest Indigenous singing duo together they were great. Survived by her beloved Archie and their sons Amos and Eban 'Tis sad to think that she died young her's not a long life span A renowned member of the Ngarrindjerri Tribe she scaled the heights of fame An Australian cultural icon and a legendary name. Like Archie Roach one of Australia's stolen generation at a young age taken from her family They met and fell in love when they were young and homeless and knew of poverty She was a special person to her higher self quite true And for the succcess she made of her life to her great credit is due. 'Tis sad to think together we'll never more hear them sing But for each and everyone of us there is a final Spring A marvellous Australian and a credit to her tribe and race In the lives of her many friends and family there is none to take her place.
