Send 'Er Down Hughie! - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Oh the radio tells me it's raining[00:00:07]
But that I can see for myself[00:00:11]
And they tell me a cyclone is coming[00:00:14]
Oh I surely could do with some help[00:00:18]
This little old shovel I'm holding[00:00:22]
Looks puney beside this big Mac[00:00:25]
She's down to the diff and still going[00:00:29]
And there's only more mud up the track[00:00:32]
Oh I've reved and I've rocked and reversed it[00:00:36]
Oh I've dug at the mud on the wheels[00:00:39]
I've kicked and I've swore and I've cursed it[00:00:43]
And to the good Lord I've appealed[00:00:46]
But the line up to heaven ain't open[00:00:50]
I've a feeling I'm not getting through[00:00:54]
Oh I'll just have to lighten the load[00:00:57]
One carton of stubies should do[00:01:01]
Oh I wonder if ever they'd miss it[00:01:12]
One carton from all of those tons[00:01:15]
But I'll bet you they'd be asking where is it[00:01:19]
And licking their dry dusty tongues[00:01:22]
Oh I can picture those miners all dying[00:01:26]
Of thirst in that drought stricken town[00:01:30]
While here in the mud I've been trying[00:01:33]
Striving to put the booze down[00:01:37]
And in each of these stubbies I empty[00:01:40]
I insert a small note of distress[00:01:44]
And cast it adrift in the gully[00:01:47]
An S O S out of the west[00:01:51]
How many days have I languished[00:01:55]
Here in this swamp called a road[00:01:58]
While in my dispair and my anguish[00:02:02]
I've been working at lighting the load[00:02:05]
Perhaps some old fisherman casting[00:02:25]
His line on the Barrier Reef[00:02:28]
Will see all these stubbies go past him[00:02:32]
And come sailing up to my relief[00:02:35]
And won't we all have such a booze up[00:02:39]
The best ever seen on this road[00:02:43]
But I doubt if they ever will choose us[00:02:46]
To carry their next flaming load[00:02:50]
So good health to the sand flies and skeeters[00:02:53]
Good luck to that solmen old frog[00:02:57]
Oh I'm d**ned if this rain's going to beat us[00:03:00]
Thank hell for this truck load of grog[00:03:04]
Oh send her down Huey you beauty[00:03:07]
You got the right knack of doing it now[00:03:11]
All my sorrows have drowned well and truly[00:03:14]
And there's plenty more booze to put down[00:03:18]
Ah ah[00:03:21]
Oh it's lomesome I went to ride drowned it[00:03:23]
This stopping[00:03:26]
Stopping that craft[00:03:27]
Knack of doing[00:03:28]
Now la la la la la[00:03:30]
