A Picture Of Home (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

My story swings around the bunch of soldiers[00:00:06]

Resting close behind the battle scene[00:00:12]

There were men from many nations represented[00:00:16]

A rugged cup united nations team[00:00:22]

They spoke about their own beloved homeland[00:00:27]

Resting far from all the tortured battle scenes[00:00:32]

On this day the lad who claimed the most attention[00:00:37]

A young Australian soldier who began[00:00:42]

Oh I have never claimed to be a namatjira[00:00:50]

I have never taken up the painters brush[00:00:55]

But in words my lads I'll paint for you a picture[00:01:00]

Of my homeland in the wide Australian bush[00:01:05]

Have you ever seen the western plains at sundown[00:01:11]

And the firey streaks that seem to blaze across[00:01:16]

And then later in the evenin' see a ghost gum[00:01:21]

And then silently we meet the southern 'cross[00:01:26]

Have you ever heard the wild swan in it's calling[00:01:31]

In the stillness of some far away lagoon[00:01:36]

Or seen the place where brumbies come to water[00:01:42]

They always come at the rising of the moon[00:01:47]

Have you ever wandered through some burning gully[00:01:52]

In springtime when the wattles are in bloom[00:01:57]

If you've never then you've never known the sweetness[00:02:02]

That fills the air around with it's perfume[00:02:07]

Have you ever gazed upon a peaceful homestead[00:02:12]

With the old blue mountains standing in the view[00:02:17]

See the homestead cattle grazing by the river[00:02:23]

From the hillside bounds an old man kangaroo[00:02:28]

In the ev'nin see the smoke rise from the chimney[00:02:33]

Tells that day is done and soon it's time for tea[00:02:38]

Hear the jackass laughter ringing through the bushland[00:02:43]

Well that's God's own country and home sweet home to me[00:02:49]

Have you ever seen a wheat field in the morning[00:02:53]

When the dawn wind ripples through the golden grain[00:02:58]

Or wandered through the farmlands in the dawn time[00:03:04]

And smelt their earthly sweetness after rain[00:03:09]

Oh I have never claimed to be a namatjira[00:03:14]

As I'd said before I've never used a brush[00:03:19]

But I hope my lads I've painted you a picture[00:03:24]

Of my homeland in the wide Australian bush[00:03:29]
