Scorn of the Women - Weddings Parties Anything[00:00:00]
Well I remember respectfully[00:00:25]
Like others before me[00:00:29]
All those folk who fell in the war[00:00:31]
And I heard you singing songs of lamentation[00:00:38]
But I don't wish to hear them no more[00:00:44]
"And what did you do in the time of the war "[00:00:50]
Is a question asked by everyone[00:00:56]
Well I stood in the line[00:01:03]
My screwdriver in hand[00:01:05]
Making aircraft out at Laverton[00:01:09]
SO don't sing no songs about Waltzing Matilda[00:01:16]
Don't tell me I tried don't tell me I failed[00:01:22]
'Cos all I recall is the scorn of the women[00:01:29]
And the white feather that I received in the mail[00:01:35]
Well I remember the day[00:01:54]
I went down to enlist[00:01:57]
And they said "Read this chart on the wall"[00:02:00]
And I remember the tone[00:02:07]
Of the voice of the doctor[00:02:09]
As he said to me[00:02:13]
"That will be all thank you very much"[00:02:15]
And riding home slowly I sat on my tram[00:02:20]
Not sure if to laugh or to cry[00:02:26]
For to train in the camps[00:02:32]
A man needs his lamps[00:02:36]
And a good soldier[00:02:38]
He Must have good eyes[00:02:41]
SO don't sing no songs about Waltzing Matilda[00:02:45]
Don't tell me I tried don't tell me I failed[00:02:52]
'Cos all I recall is the scorn of the women[00:02:58]
And the white feather that I received in the mail[00:03:04]
Well it takes more than bullets[00:03:36]
To murder to maim[00:03:40]
Whether worn down or beaten[00:03:42]
A death's still a death[00:03:46]
And you know sometimes[00:03:49]
When I think back to the forties[00:03:51]
I pray for my very last breath[00:03:56]
Oh you know I have nothing[00:04:02]
Against those who fought[00:04:06]
But for Christ's sake[00:04:08]
We do what we can[00:04:10]
There's more than one way[00:04:15]
That you can skin a cat[00:04:18]
And there's more than one way[00:04:21]
You can cripple a man[00:04:24]
SO don't sing no songs about Waltzing Matilda[00:04:28]
Don't tell me I tried don't tell me I failed[00:04:34]
'Cos all I recall is the scorn of the women[00:04:41]
And the white feather that I received in the mail[00:04:47]
SO don't sing no songs about Waltzing Matilda[00:04:54]
Don't tell me I tried don't tell me I failed[00:05:00]
'Cos all I recall is the scorn of the women[00:05:07]
And the white feather that I received in the mail[00:05:13]
