Shanty On The Rise - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

When the caravans of wool teams climbed the ranges from[00:00:07]

The west[00:00:11]

On a spur among the mountains stood 'the bullock drivers'[00:00:12]

Rest'[00:00:16]

It was built of bark and saplings and was rather[00:00:17]

Rough inside[00:00:21]

But 'twas good enough for bushmen in the careless days[00:00:23]

That died[00:00:26]

Just a quiet little shanty kept by 'something in disguise'[00:00:27]

As the bushmen called the landlord of the shanty on[00:00:33]

The rise[00:00:36]

Was the bullock driver's haven when his team was on[00:00:39]

The road[00:00:43]

And the waggon wheels were groaning as they ploughed beneath[00:00:44]

The load[00:00:48]

And I mind how weary teamsters struggled on while it[00:00:49]

Was light[00:00:53]

Just to camp within a cooey of the shanty for[00:00:54]

The night[00:00:58]

And I think the very bullocks raised their heads and[00:00:59]

Fixed their eyes[00:01:03]

On the candle in the window of the shanty on[00:01:04]

The rise[00:01:08]

And the bullock bells were clanking from the marshes on[00:01:11]

The flats[00:01:14]

As we hurried to the shanty where we hung our[00:01:16]

Dripping hats[00:01:19]

And we took a drop of something that was brought[00:01:22]

At our desire[00:01:25]

As we stood with steaming moleskins in the kitchen by[00:01:27]

The fire[00:01:31]

Oh it roared upon a fireplace of the good old[00:01:32]

Fashioned size[00:01:35]

When the rain came down the chimney of the shanty[00:01:37]

On the rise[00:01:40]

They got up a christmas party in the shanty long[00:01:50]

Ago[00:01:53]

While I camped with Jimmy now lett on the river[00:01:54]

Bank below[00:01:58]

Poor old Jimy was in his glory they'd elected him[00:02:00]

M C[00:02:04]

For there wasn't such another raving lunatic as he[00:02:05]

Mr Nowlett Mr Daste shouted something in disguise[00:02:10]

As we walked into the parlour of the shanty on[00:02:15]

The rise[00:02:18]

Jimmy came to me and whispered and I muttered 'go[00:02:21]

Along[00:02:25]

But he shouted Mr Dasty will oblige us with a[00:02:26]

Song[00:02:30]

And at first I said I wouldn't and I shammed[00:02:31]

A little too[00:02:34]

Till the girls began to whisper 'we're all waiting now[00:02:36]

For you'[00:02:40]

So I sang a song of something 'bout the love[00:02:41]

That never dies[00:02:44]

And the core or shook the rafters of the shanty on the[00:02:46]

Rise[00:02:50]

Jimmy burst his concertina and the bullock drivers went[00:02:52]

For the corpse of Joe the fiddler who was sleeping[00:02:57]

In his tent[00:03:00]

Joe was tired and had lumbago and he wouldn't come[00:03:03]

He said[00:03:07]

But the case was very urgent so they pulled him[00:03:08]

Out of bed[00:03:12]

And they fetched him for the bushmen knew that something[00:03:13]

In disguise[00:03:17]

Had a cure for Joe's lumbago in the shanty on[00:03:18]

The rise[00:03:22]

I suppose the shanty vanished from the ranges long ago[00:03:31]

And the girls are mostly married to the chaps I[00:03:36]

Used to know[00:03:39]

My old chums are in the distance some have crossed[00:03:41]

The border line[00:03:44]

But in fancy still their glasses chink against the rim[00:03:46]

Of mine[00:03:50]

And upon the very centre of the greenest spot that[00:03:51]

Lies[00:03:55]

In my fondest recollection stands the shanty on the rise[00:03:56]

In my fondest recollection stands the shanty on the rise[00:04:02]
