Trumby (1994 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

Trumby was a ringer [00:00:07]

A good one too at that [00:00:10]

He could rake and ride a twister [00:00:13]

Throw a rope and fancy plait[00:00:15]

He could counterline a saddle [00:00:17]

Track a man lost in the night[00:00:19]

Trumby was a good boy but he couldn't read or write [00:00:22]

Trumby was dependable [00:00:29]

He never took to beer [00:00:32]

The boss admired him so much [00:00:34]

One day made him overseer[00:00:37]

It never went to Trumby's head [00:00:40]

He didn't boast or skite[00:00:42]

Trumby was a good boy [00:00:45]

But he couldn't read or write [00:00:47]

The drought was on the country the grass in short supply[00:00:54]

The tanks were getting lower[00:00:59]

And the water holes near dry [00:01:01]

Cattle started dying and releif was not insight [00:01:05]

To estimate the losses Trumby couldn't read or write [00:01:09]

He rode around the station pulling cattle from the bog [00:01:16]

To save them being torn apart by eagles [00:01:21]

Crows and dogs [00:01:24]

He saw a notice on a tree [00:01:27]

It wasn't there last night [00:01:29]

Trumby tried to understand [00:01:32]

But he couldn't read or write [00:01:34]

On bended knee down in the mud [00:01:41]

Trumby had a drink [00:01:43]

Swung the reigns and to his horse said[00:01:46]

"We go home I think" [00:01:49]

"Tell 'im boss about the sign [00:01:52]

'Im read 'im good alright"[00:01:54]

"One day boss's missus teach[00:01:57]

'Im Trumby read and write "[00:01:59]

Well concern was felt for Trumby [00:02:03]

He hadn't used his bed [00:02:06]

Next day beside that muddy hole[00:02:08]

They found the ringer dead [00:02:11]

And a piece of tin tied to a tree[00:02:13]

Then caught the boss's eye [00:02:16]

He read the words of 'Poison[00:02:18]

Here' and signed by Dogger Bry [00:02:21]

Now the stock had never used[00:02:28]

That hole along that stoney creek [00:02:30]

And Trumby's bag was empty[00:02:33]

It has freyed and sprung a leak[00:02:35]

The dogs were there in hundreds[00:02:39]

And the dogger in his plight [00:02:41]

Told the boss he never knew poor[00:02:43]

Trumby couldn't read or write [00:02:46]

Now Trumby was a ringer as solid as a post [00:02:53]

His skin was black but his heart was white[00:02:58]

And that's what mattered most [00:03:01]

Sometimes I think how sad[00:03:03]

It is in this world with all its might [00:03:05]

That a man like Trumby met his death[00:03:08]

Because he couldn't read or write [00:03:11]

Couldn't read or write [00:03:14]

Couldn't read or write[00:03:16]
