The Old Time Drovers Lament - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

Well you asked me if I'd ever been a-drovin' [00:00:04]

You wouldn't know the meaning of that word [00:00:08]

With the gravel road beside you and the fence along to guide you [00:00:13]

And a brand new caravan behind the herd [00:00:17]

Oh a truck and caravan behind the herd [00:00:21]

I'd like to have seen you young'uns in the old days [00:00:26]

With a wagonette and horses for your plant [00:00:30]

Where the desert land commences and there isn't any fences [00:00:35]

Barren country wouldn't feed an ant [00:00:39]

Barren country wouldn't feed an ant [00:00:43]

Did you ever take your turn at riding nightwatch [00:00:48]

'Round the cattle on a dark and rainy camp [00:00:52]

Did you ride around them singin' with your moleskins wet and clingin' [00:00:57]

And your body ached all over with the cramp[00:01:01]

Your body ached all over with the cramp [00:01:06]

Did you ever plod along behind the tailers[00:01:10]

And you couldn't see your horses head for dust [00:01:14]

And the cattle that you followed they were very weak and hollow [00:01:19]

And you wondered if you'd get'em there or bust [00:01:23]

You were doubtful if you'd get'em there or bust [00:01:27]

Did you ever take your turn at tailin' horses [00:01:32]

When there wasn't any grass within your sight [00:01:36]

Did you ever use the pliers did you cut the squatters wires [00:01:39]

And you fed them on the squatters grass all night [00:01:45]

And moved them out before the east was bright [00:01:50]

Did you ever have to shoe a mob of cattle[00:01:54]

With horse shoes cut in halves to make them fit [00:01:58]

Did you shoe them by the hour with your temper getting sour [00:02:03]

From break of dawn until the lamps were lit [00:02:07]

Yes you worked all day until the lamps were lit [00:02:11]

So you asked me if I'd ever been a-drovin' [00:02:16]

You wouldn't know the meaning of that word [00:02:21]

With the gravel road beside you and the fence along to guide you [00:02:26]

And a brand new caravan behind the herd [00:02:30]

A truck and caravan behind the herd [00:02:34]

Oh Steak and ice cream served behind the herd[00:02:39]

Oh they watch TV each night behind the herd[00:02:43]

Oh they really get served behind the herd[00:02:48]
