The Ballad Of Henry Lawson (1993 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

Theres an Aussie we all know where the western breezes blow[00:00:05]

From north to south he's known far and wide[00:00:10]

Henry Lawson was his name but he never rose to fame[00:00:16]

Until he crossed beyond the great divide[00:00:21]

In a little place called Grenfell when the gold was flowing free[00:00:27]

And the miners and their money came went[00:00:32]

In 1867 when the town was on the spree[00:00:35]

Henry Lawson he was born there in a tent[00:00:39]

He grew into a lanky lad when Gulgong was his home[00:00:43]

His mind was bright he had those itchy feet[00:00:47]

He wrote a string of verses of the days he used to roam[00:00:50]

From dusty track outback to city streets[00:00:54]

He drifted with the drovers across the western plains[00:00:59]

And he waltzed Matilda down the Lachlan side[00:01:05]

From the Barcoo to the Murray in droughts and flooding rains[00:01:10]

Oh the bush was both his mother and his pride[00:01:16]

He passed by plain and mountain and by burning desert sand[00:01:22]

By shearing shed and lonely cattle camp[00:01:26]

And when the beer was flowing he was there to lend a hand[00:01:29]

With the mates that share his life upon the tramp[00:01:33]

He sang of wild bush brumbies and the teamsters and their teams[00:01:37]

Of outer tracks that only Bushmen know[00:01:41]

He saw the mail coach coming by plains and mountain streams[00:01:44]

And he wrote about the lights of Cobb & Co[00:01:48]

He told of lonely men outback and women of the west[00:01:54]

Of folk that fought to live in factory towns[00:01:59]

But the swaggies of the old bush school were the ones he knew the best[00:02:05]

Where the waters of the Darling wander down[00:02:10]

He boiled his billy back of Bourke and starved in City Park[00:02:16]

He penned his poems in a shaky scrawl[00:02:21]

But of all the old bush poets who have passed and left their mark[00:02:24]

Henry Lawson was the greatest of them all[00:02:28]

Theres an Aussie we all know where the western breezes blow[00:02:34]

From north to south hes known far and wide[00:02:39]

Henry Lawson was his name but he never rose to fame[00:02:45]

Until he crossed beyond the great divide[00:02:50]

Until he crossed beyond the great divide[00:02:56]
