Bill - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

Written by：Slim Dusty/Henry Lawson[00:00:00]

He shall live to the end of this mad old world[00:00:05]

As he lived since the world began[00:00:09]

He never has done any good for himself[00:00:12]

But been good to every man[00:00:15]

He never has done any good for himself[00:00:19]

And I'm sure that he never will[00:00:22]

He drinks and he swears and he fights at times[00:00:26]

And his name is mostly Bill[00:00:30]

He carried a freezing mate to his cave[00:00:35]

And nursed him for all I know[00:00:38]

When Europe was mainly a sheet of ice[00:00:42]

Thousands of years ago[00:00:46]

He has stuck for many a mate since then[00:00:49]

He is with us everywhere still[00:00:52]

He loves and gambles when he is young[00:00:56]

And the girls all stick up for Bill[00:00:59]

He has thirsted on deserts that others might drink[00:01:05]

He has given lest others should lack[00:01:08]

He has staggered half blinded through fire or drought[00:01:12]

With a sick man on his back[00:01:15]

He is first to the rescue in tunnel or shaft[00:01:19]

From bully to broken hill[00:01:22]

When the water breaks in or the fire breaks out[00:01:26]

A leader of men is Bill[00:01:29]

He is good for the noblest sacrifice[00:01:35]

He can do what few men can[00:01:38]

He will break his heart that the girl he loves[00:01:41]

May marry a better man[00:01:45]

And there's many a mother and wife tonight[00:01:49]

Whose heart and eyes will fill[00:01:52]

When she thinks of the days of long ago[00:01:56]

When she well might have stuck to Bill[00:01:59]

Maybe he's in trouble or hard up now[00:02:05]

Travelling far for work[00:02:09]

Or fighting a dead past down tonight[00:02:12]

In a lone camp west of Burke[00:02:15]

When he's happy and flush take your sorrows to him[00:02:19]

And borrow as much as you will[00:02:22]

But when he's in trouble or stony broke[00:02:26]

Why you never will hear from Bill[00:02:29]

And when because of it's million sins[00:02:35]

This earth is cracked like a shell[00:02:38]

He would stand by a mate at the judgement gate[00:02:41]

And comfort him down in hell[00:02:45]

I haven't much sentiment left to waste[00:02:50]

But let cynics sneer if they will[00:02:53]

Perhaps god will fix up the world again[00:02:57]

For the sake of the likes of Bill[00:03:01]
