Where Country Is (1998 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
He sat by the door of the grand old birds ville pub[00:00:09]
His swag and gear guarded by a faithful healer dog[00:00:16]
He wore a shirt that would blind ya and a rumpled ringer's hat[00:00:22]
This old man was country he left no doubt of that[00:00:30]
There was legend in the lines of his weather beaten face[00:00:37]
Those eyes had seen a lot of changes in the Aussie race[00:00:43]
The passing of the horseman the death of an ace[00:00:51]
Seems to me he's doubts that we've turned a better page[00:00:57]
He sat there hillbilly pickin' on a cracked and battered Gibson[00:01:04]
And the songs that he sang were all his[00:01:10]
Every song told a story and the more that I'd listen[00:01:16]
The more I realized this is where country is[00:01:21]
He sang of mobs of cattle moving down the birds ville track[00:01:34]
And the camels carting wool in the early days outback[00:01:41]
He sang of wild eyed scrubbers ridin' flat out in the night[00:01:48]
Tryin' to ring the mob 'cause lightning's quick to fright[00:01:54]
And he sang loudly and proudly of our pioneering ladies[00:02:00]
And I suspect that one such lass was his[00:02:05]
Home in this early frontier country was lonely dirt floor Humphrey[00:02:11]
No doubt about it this man knows where country is[00:02:17]
His songs told how they did it and I felt a sense of shame[00:02:29]
And I wondered if the battler would ever be again[00:02:36]
His pride for his country rang true in every song[00:02:43]
And I wondered if the chips were down I would be as strong[00:02:50]
He sat there hillbilly pickin' on a cracked and battered Gibson[00:02:56]
And the songs that he sang were all his[00:03:02]
Every song told a story and the more that I'd listen[00:03:08]
The more I realized this is where country is[00:03:14]
Yes mate we're so far from the city here[00:03:21]
You know what this is where country is[00:03:27]
Dust storms flies[00:03:37]
