Pay Day At The Pub (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
Now the weary week has ended [00:00:05]
It's pay day on the job[00:00:08]
Let's go down to the local[00:00:10]
And mingle with the mob[00:00:12]
You'll meet the dinkum Aussies [00:00:16]
Rough and ready as they are[00:00:18]
With hard faces brown as leather [00:00:21]
Lined up around the bar[00:00:23]
Someone is sure to greet you [00:00:27]
You chaps I'm glad to see[00:00:29]
Come on you pair of somethings [00:00:31]
And have a drink with me[00:00:33]
While the barmaid juggles glasses[00:00:37]
And the boss works with a will[00:00:39]
For he loves to hear the rattle[00:00:42]
Of the silver in the till[00:00:44]
Now the rousabout is busy [00:00:48]
He hasn't time to think[00:00:50]
And I'm sure he'd never hear you[00:00:52]
If you ask him for a drink[00:00:55]
Oh the barrels that are heavy will be[00:00:58]
Light ones very soon[00:01:01]
When the brumbies come to water[00:01:03]
On a pay day afternoon[00:01:05]
Now the world is such a great place [00:01:09]
Everyone is doing well[00:01:11]
And strange it is to listen to the[00:01:14]
Stories that they tell[00:01:16]
Some are ridin' buckin' brumbies [00:01:20]
Some are up north in the cane[00:01:22]
Some are growling at the weather[00:01:24]
And are wishing it would rain[00:01:26]
And there's old Jimmy Wooter[00:01:30]
In the corner by himself[00:01:32]
Telling stories to the bottles[00:01:35]
That are standing on the shelf[00:01:37]
Oh he once was high and mighty[00:01:41]
Though forlorn he's looking now[00:01:43]
In a hat that came from nowhere[00:01:45]
And a torn old Jackie Howe[00:01:48]
Now the clock is moving onwards [00:01:51]
The lightweights have their fill[00:01:54]
But those with more horse power[00:01:56]
Are staying with it still[00:01:59]
Some have already had it[00:02:02]
And are layed out in a swoon[00:02:04]
They'll be grumpy when they wake up[00:02:07]
On a pay day afternoon[00:02:09]
Hear the hen pecked hubbies saying[00:02:13]
What will become of me[00:02:15]
For I told my little woman[00:02:17]
That I'd hurry home to tea[00:02:19]
She's going to play old Harry[00:02:23]
And whale like one bereft[00:02:26]
When she digs into my pockets[00:02:28]
And she finds there's little left[00:02:30]
But if he uses a bit of blarney[00:02:34]
She'll forgive him verey soon[00:02:36]
Couse I'm that the heart down pay day afternoon[00:02:39]
The weary week has ended [00:02:45]
It's pay day on the job[00:02:47]
Let's go down to the local[00:02:49]
And mingle with the mob[00:02:52]
And when you something doesn't[00:02:55]
If the girl may to the room[00:02:58]
A work to the new on a pay day afternoon[00:03:00]
