The Old Jimmy Woodser - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

The old Jimmy Woodser comes into the bar[00:00:13]

Unwelcomed unnoticed unknown [00:00:17]

Too old and too odd to be drunk with by far;[00:00:21]

So he glides to the end where the lunch baskets are [00:00:26]

And they say that he tipples alone [00:00:30]

And they say that he tipples alone [00:00:35]

His frockcoat is green and the nap is no more [00:00:39]

And his hat is not quite at its best;[00:00:45]

He wears the peaked collar our grandfathers wore [00:00:49]

The black-ribbon tie that was legal of yore [00:00:53]

And the coat buttoned over his breast [00:00:59]

And the coat buttoned over his breast [00:01:03]

But I dreamed as he tasted his 'bitter' to-night [00:01:09]

And the lights in the bar-room grew dim [00:01:12]

That the shades of the friends of that other day’s[00:01:17]

Light [00:01:20]

And of girls that were bright in our grandfathers”[00:01:21]

Sight [00:01:24]

Lifted shadowy glasses to him [00:01:26]

Lifted shadowy glasses to him [00:01:30]

Yes the old Jimmy Woodser comes into the bar[00:01:36]

Unwelcomed unnoticed unknown [00:01:40]

Too old and too odd to be drunk with by far;[00:01:44]

So he glides to the end where the lunch baskets are [00:01:48]

And they say that he tipples alone [00:01:53]

(Instrumental)[00:02:05]

Then I opened the door and the old man passed out [00:02:20]

With his short shuffling step and bowed head;[00:02:24]

And I sighed; for I felt as I turned me about [00:02:28]

An odd sense of respect born of whisky no doubt [00:02:32]

For a life that was fifty years dead [00:02:37]

For a life that was fifty years dead [00:02:41]

And I thought there are times when our memory trends[00:02:48]

Through the future as ‘twere on its own [00:02:52]

That I out-of-date ere my pilgrimage ends [00:02:56]

In a new-fashioned bar to dead loves and dead friends[00:03:00]

Might drink like the old man alone [00:03:06]

Might drink like the old man alone[00:03:10]
