Australian Bushmen - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Composer:Stan Coster[00:00:07]
I'm a plain Australian bushman and I've drifted far and wide[00:00:14]
I'm a jack of all trades in the bush[00:00:20]
And I say that with pride[00:00:23]
I'm only one of many who are batt'ling in the scrub[00:00:27]
Workin' for an honest wage[00:00:33]
May be to splash in some old pub[00:00:35]
We are ringers fencers shearers[00:00:39]
We are drovers on the track[00:00:42]
We are miners and road builders[00:00:46]
Op'ning up the great outback[00:00:48]
Hard drinkers and hard workers and we give but never lend[00:00:52]
And we wander 'cos we know our goal[00:00:59]
Lies 'round the distant bend[00:01:02]
Our wives are mostly stickers so they sacrifice and save[00:01:19]
In lonely isolation understanding true and brave[00:01:25]
They rouse and scold and nurse us[00:01:31]
When we're getting off the spree[00:01:34]
And I wonder why such women stick to blokes[00:01:38]
Like you and me[00:01:41]
We are precious cooks and rousers thru[00:01:44]
And brumby shooters too[00:01:47]
Horse breakers and truck drivers taking pride in all we do[00:01:51]
Hard drinkers and hard fighters and we give but never lend[00:01:57]
And we wander 'cos we know our goal lies[00:02:04]
'Round the distant bend[00:02:07]
We take pride in our possessions[00:02:17]
Which are mostly old and few[00:02:19]
And we plan while we are workin'[00:02:23]
How we'll start our life anew[00:02:25]
But plans and cheques are slaughtered[00:02:30]
When we hit the nearest pub[00:02:32]
Then it's back out bush to work and plan[00:02:36]
And rough it in the scrub[00:02:39]
Oh we are ringers fencers shearers[00:02:42]
We are drovers on the track[00:02:45]
We are miners and road builders op'ning up the great outback[00:02:49]
Hard drinkers and hard workers and we give but never lend[00:02:56]
And we wander 'cos we know our goal[00:03:02]
Lies 'round the distant bend[00:03:05]
Yes we wander 'cos we know our goal[00:03:08]
Lies 'round the distant bend[00:03:11]
