Believe It Or Not (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

He was a gun shearer a ringer of sheds[00:00:19]

Who had come to the end of his run[00:00:21]

So he let out a yell[00:00:24]

And threw down his blade[00:00:25]

The last of his ten had been done[00:00:26]

Then he went to the office[00:00:30]

And asked for his cheque[00:00:31]

And the manager paid him in cash[00:00:32]

Then he rolled up his blanket[00:00:35]

And started for home[00:00:36]

'Ere he gambled at cards and got rash[00:00:37]

He camped for the night[00:00:43]

'Neath some trees by the road[00:00:44]

Away from the cold and the damp[00:00:45]

When a swagman came out of the ev'nin' dusk[00:00:48]

And started to make up his camp[00:00:50]

Come and join me old timer the shearer said[00:00:54]

I've tucker enough here for two[00:00:57]

All my tucker bag's light[00:00:59]

The old feller said[00:01:00]

Thanks boy don't mind if I do[00:01:02]

When the meal was finished[00:01:20]

They started to talk[00:01:21]

In the way that travellers do[00:01:22]

An' the old feller said[00:01:24]

You been travellin' long[00:01:25]

Your gear an' your blankets look new[00:01:27]

No I'm not on the track the shearer said[00:01:30]

I'm a shearer just finished my run[00:01:33]

An' I've five hundred dollars[00:01:35]

In this here purse[00:01:37]

Just to prove that my job has been done[00:01:37]

Oooooh five hundred dollars[00:01:41]

The old feller said[00:01:43]

That's a lot of money me son[00:01:44]

There's many a man been murdered for less[00:01:46]

Buried some place on the run[00:01:49]

Then he went to his swag[00:01:52]

And took out a knife[00:01:53]

And also a sharpening stone[00:01:55]

As he sharpened the edge[00:01:57]

An' he looked up and said[00:01:59]

You should never have travelled alone[00:02:00]

Oh the shearer thought what a fool he'd been[00:02:06]

To open his mouth so wide[00:02:08]

He was sure[00:02:11]

The old man would wait 'til he slept[00:02:11]

An' then bury that knife in his hide[00:02:13]

So he lay in his blanket an' waited to hear[00:02:17]

The sound as the swagman slept[00:02:19]

When he heard the first snore[00:02:22]

He slipped out of bed[00:02:23]

Into the darkness he crept[00:02:24]

That he hadn't gone far[00:02:28]

When he thought he could hear[00:02:29]

Footsteps not far at the back[00:02:31]

So he quickened his pace[00:02:33]

From a walk to a trot[00:02:34]

The footsteps kept pounding the track[00:02:36]

At last he was running flat out in the dark[00:02:42]

From fear he was almost blind[00:02:44]

An' the faster he went the faster they came[00:02:47]

Those footsteps padding behind[00:02:49]

Then he stumbled and fell[00:02:55]

With a terrible thud[00:02:56]

'Cross a log that lay on the track[00:02:58]

As he lay there gasping and fancin'[00:03:00]

He felt the point of that knife in his back[00:03:02]

And there he trembled with energy spent[00:03:06]

An' he knew that his race had been run[00:03:09]

When the swagman fell over the log at his side[00:03:11]

An' whispered who's after us son[00:03:14]

Well the shearer heaved a great sigh of relief[00:03:17]

An' said no one is after us dad[00:03:20]

Well if no one's chasin' the old feller said[00:03:22]

What the hell are we runnin' fur lad[00:03:25]
