Trucks On the Track (Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Said the old working bullock to the draught horses mate[00:00:07]
The yokes chains and swing bars have gone out of date[00:00:11]
Just look at the dust clouds and smoke trailing back[00:00:16]
Where once we pulled wagons there's trucks on the track[00:00:20]
Trucks on the track[00:00:24]
There's seldom a bush road that's not felt the trail[00:00:27]
Of some big prime mover that leave us for dead[00:00:31]
Stiff shouldered and foot sore our chains never slack[00:00:36]
And our ticket for freedom those trucks on the track[00:00:40]
Those broad smiling faces of the gear pushing men[00:00:45]
Is the trade mark of trucks that I recall when[00:00:49]
The face of the teamster turned purple and black[00:00:54]
With rage but he'd welcome these trucks on the track[00:00:58]
The draught horse replied as he shook his old mane[00:01:03]
Those days I've no yearning to see them again[00:01:07]
Old whips made of green hide that stung ribs and back[00:01:12]
Hang idle because of those trucks on the track[00:01:16]
Trucks on the track[00:01:20]
So just let us nibble this young tender grass[00:01:36]
We're both pensioned off and are silver and brass[00:01:40]
Way back though the ages a man hunt his pack[00:01:45]
Now they haul half the world those trucks on the track[00:01:49]
So spray out the bull dust the trucks must get through[00:01:54]
There's someone out back mate 'pending on you[00:01:58]
A yard of prime cattle or a wool clip to stack[00:02:03]
The kings of the road those trucks on the track[00:02:07]
Trucks on the track[00:02:11]
So just let us nibble this young tender grass[00:02:16]
We're both pensioned off and are silver and brass[00:02:20]
Way back though the ages a man hunt his pack[00:02:25]
Now they haul half the world those trucks on the track[00:02:29]
So spray out the bull dust the trucks must get through[00:02:34]
There's someone out back mate 'pending on you[00:02:38]
A yard of prime cattle or a wool clip to stack[00:02:43]
The kings of the road those trucks on the track[00:02:47]
