Morton (A Song For Tex) - Weddings Parties Anything[00:00:02]
He stopped to change a tyre out near Warnambool [00:00:18]
His Chevy it was all over the road [00:00:21]
He pulled into town sometime[00:00:25]
In the early afternoon [00:00:27]
More than a normal travelling salesman [00:00:29]
The guitar his only load [00:00:31]
And we were all there waitin' in the Colac hall [00:00:35]
Our little legs a-swinging 'neath the chairs [00:00:39]
But I just sucked a butter menthol[00:00:42]
And never once looked at the girls [00:00:45]
Would the 'Cat Come Back' like last time [00:00:47]
I fell into despair [00:00:49]
But here's a go let's catch the show[00:00:52]
And lay your money down [00:00:54]
Cause Morton's back in town [00:00:56]
And I still hear the way[00:01:01]
He played his old guitar [00:01:03]
And I still hear the way he sang those songs [00:01:05]
And I still hear his voice so crisp[00:01:09]
And clear above the crowd [00:01:11]
Do I remember Am I joking [00:01:13]
Somehow it all just seems so strong [00:01:15]
And could he crack a whip [00:01:19]
You bet he could don't[00:01:20]
You make me laugh [00:01:21]
And could he tell a joke [00:01:22]
He would make you cry [00:01:24]
And could he hypnotise and[00:01:27]
Do a dance and spin a yarn [00:01:27]
You name it he could do it with[00:01:30]
The winkin' of an eye [00:01:32]
But here's a go let's catch the show[00:01:35]
And lay your money down [00:01:38]
Cause Morton's back in town [00:01:39]
Ain't it funny how time passes [00:01:53]
How the years just slip away [00:01:55]
And the memories we have[00:01:57]
They play their games [00:01:58]
And now it's me who's strumming guitars [00:02:01]
Now it's me who's travelling round [00:02:03]
But somehow I get the feeling[00:02:05]
That it isn't quite the same [00:02:07]
For it was never quite this easy [00:02:10]
It was never quite this hard [00:02:12]
But it never made much sense to theorise [00:02:14]
When the show closed down[00:02:18]
You'd pack your things [00:02:19]
You'd soon be on your way [00:02:20]
First you see him now you don't [00:02:22]
He'd be gone before your very eyes [00:02:24]
But here's a go let's catch the[00:02:27]
Show and lay your money down [00:02:29]
Cause Morton's back in town [00:02:32]
From the U S A to Canada [00:02:36]
He played the roving clown [00:02:39]
Morton's back in town [00:02:46]
From Dunedin to Germany and[00:02:46]
On to Darling Downs [00:02:48]
Hey Morton [00:02:51]
The Great Morton Tex Morton [00:02:53]
Morton's back in town[00:03:00]
