To An Old Mate - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

Written by：Slim Dusty/Henry Lawson[00:00:01]

Old mate in the gusty old weather[00:00:07]

When our hopes and our troubles were new[00:00:11]

In the years spent in wearing out leather[00:00:15]

I found you unselfish and true[00:00:18]

I have gathered these overseas together[00:00:22]

For the sake of our friendship and you[00:00:26]

You may think for a while and with reason[00:00:29]

Though still with a kindly regret[00:00:33]

That I've left it for late in the season[00:00:36]

To prove I remember you yet[00:00:40]

But you'll never judge me by their treason[00:00:44]

Who prop thy friends and forget[00:00:47]

I can still feel the spirit that bore us[00:01:00]

And often the old stars will shine[00:01:04]

I remember the last spree in corus[00:01:07]

For the sake of that other lang syne[00:01:11]

When the tracks lay divided before us[00:01:14]

Your path through the future and mine[00:01:18]

Through the frost wind that cuts like whip lashes[00:01:21]

Through the ever blind haze of the drought[00:01:25]

And in fancier times by the flashes[00:01:29]

Of light in the darkness of death[00:01:32]

I have followed the tent poles and ashes[00:01:36]

Of camps that we moved further out[00:01:40]

You will find in these pages a trace of[00:01:52]

That side of our past that was bright[00:01:56]

And recognize something the face of[00:01:59]

A friend who has dropped out of sight[00:02:03]

Oh I send them along in the place of[00:02:07]

The letters I promised to write yeah[00:02:10]

Old mate in the gusty old weather[00:02:14]

When our hopes and our troubles were new[00:02:17]

In the years spent in wearing out leather[00:02:21]

I found you unselfish and true[00:02:24]

I have gathered these overseas together[00:02:28]

For the sake of our friendship and you[00:02:32]
