Bent-Axle Bob (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty And The Travelling Country Band[00:00:00]
I was short of a dollar so I called on a bloke[00:00:04]
Who's pay wasn't good his gear was a joke[00:00:08]
You can't pick and choose when you're down on your luck[00:00:12]
And your only profession is err drivin' a truck[00:00:16]
So we talked for a spell and he gave me a job[00:00:20]
This cunning ole guy known as bent axle bob[00:00:24]
The rig which he owned was an F model mack[00:00:29]
And the run that I drew was the territory track[00:00:32]
Bob's brakes was the kind which no other would cart[00:00:39]
The places he sent me would just break your heart[00:00:43]
From dead ends in balmain to drill rigs out west[00:00:46]
With the sands of a desert put your gears to the test[00:00:50]
But I battled along an' I shifted some weight[00:00:54]
Old bent axle whinged every time I ran late[00:00:58]
Small wonder if you saw the smoke from the pump[00:01:03]
And saw half the metal that I found in the sump[00:01:06]
That's right yeah[00:01:10]
The trailers were buckled the tyres were worn[00:01:15]
The tarps which he owned were tattered and torn[00:01:19]
The dogs and the chains were all rusty and joined[00:01:22]
Oh was easy to see how his nickname was coined[00:01:26]
Every axle was bent and the dolly was cracked[00:01:31]
The kingpins was strained from the loads they had hacked[00:01:34]
I did what I could mate yes I really tried[00:01:39]
Old bent axle whinged 'til the day that he died[00:01:43]
He did yeah[00:01:46]
I'm sittin' here at home an' I'm out of a job[00:01:51]
No longer employed by old bent axle bob[00:01:55]
I note from the lawyer I read what's inside[00:01:58]
Seems I have a road train now that old bent axle died[00:02:02]
Yes I'm heir to the fortune of bent axle bob[00:02:07]
I needed a good driver an' you need a job[00:02:11]
You can drive this old rig to the scrap dealers dump[00:02:15]
Complete with bent axles and that smokey fuel pump[00:02:19]
Complete with bent axles and smokey fuel pump[00:02:24]
You can drive this old wreck to the scrap dealers dump[00:02:27]
And leave it there[00:02:30]
