Dribbler Bill - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

I see him still ole Dribbler Bill [00:00:05]

His frame as hard as gidgee [00:00:08]

He drove the mail on Bridal[00:00:10]

Tracks in country soft and rigid [00:00:12]

Never had too much to say[00:00:16]

But when he did was just a drawl [00:00:18]

And ya’ kinda got the feelin' [00:00:20]

He'd be handy in a brawl [00:00:22]

His Leyland truck was like ole Bill [00:00:26]

Gusty rough and slow [00:00:29]

He took that truck through country[00:00:31]

Where a dozer wouldn't go [00:00:33]

Yeah but he's been bogged down tyre deep [00:00:37]

Back in Coober Hole [00:00:39]

When others turned their trucks around[00:00:42]

And headed back for home [00:00:44]

Now old Bill would do those little things[00:00:47]

For bush folk far from town [00:00:50]

Had a memory like Sir Sydney [00:00:52]

Never wrote the items down [00:00:54]

Newspapers he would put inside [00:00:58]

Mailbox on the ridge [00:01:01]

And every stop along the way [00:01:03]

Had somethin' for the kids [00:01:05]

He was seen to be a lonely man[00:01:09]

Like one deprived of luck [00:01:11]

An outward sign did only make was[00:01:14]

That old Leyland truck [00:01:16]

He'd caress that smooth ole steerin'[00:01:19]

Wheel ease along the track [00:01:21]

The last words that I heard him say was [00:01:24]

"See ya later Jack "[00:01:27]

Now the mail still serves the far outback [00:01:40]

The jobs they handle fine [00:01:43]

But mem'ries dwell on Dribbler Bill way back in '39 [00:01:45]

I remember every mail night [00:01:51]

The excitement and the thrill [00:01:53]

As we sat outside and waited for the likes of Dribbler Bill [00:01:56]

Oh there's many times he helped us out[00:02:01]

When tucker got real slack [00:02:04]

Like fresh meat from the bullocks[00:02:06]

Secured from somewhere up the track [00:02:08]

Yeah great old man was Dribbler Bill[00:02:12]

The kind who'd always stick [00:02:14]

And he'd risk his life without a thought[00:02:16]

For the needy and the sick Hey [00:02:19]

Now I'd like to think[00:02:28]

That Dribbler Bill still has the wheel in hand [00:02:29]

Pushin' that old Leyland truck[00:02:33]

Throughout that channel land [00:02:35]

Should there be no trucks in heaven it's a halo to a pup [00:02:39]

Just give old Bill a day or two and he'll start a mail run up [00:02:43]

Yeah so long Bill[00:02:53]
