Born With An Endless Thirst (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Old Jimmy he liked whiskey[00:00:09]
For whippin' the old TB[00:00:12]
Hank Williams lived by the bottle[00:00:15]
Right to the end by gee[00:00:18]
I too might die from alcohol[00:00:22]
But I won't be the first[00:00:25]
County Music singers are just born[00:00:28]
With an endless thirst[00:00:32]
There's one more name I'll mention[00:00:35]
His name is Mr Hall[00:00:38]
He loves his beer and bourbon[00:00:41]
Oh I'd say he's tried 'em all[00:00:44]
And some I'm afraid have gone[00:00:48]
Onto the other stuff that's worse[00:00:50]
I'll do no harm if I bend my arm[00:00:54]
To ease my endless thirst[00:00:57]
So many of our brothers[00:01:01]
In early life did lose[00:01:04]
We're either way up in the clouds[00:01:07]
Or down deep in the blues[00:01:10]
It's a way life we're born to[00:01:14]
So for better or for worse[00:01:17]
Country music singers are just born[00:01:20]
With an endless thirst[00:01:24]
When I left my home away up[00:01:34]
North many long years ago[00:01:37]
Our songs were played at 4 am and country radio[00:01:40]
Oh they called us hicks and hillbillies[00:01:47]
And sometimes even worse[00:01:50]
Twas enough to drive a man to drink[00:01:53]
Excuse my endless thirst[00:01:56]
So from cowboy songs to country songs[00:02:00]
It's been a long hard grind[00:02:03]
We were looked upon with such[00:02:06]
Disdain back in the good old times[00:02:08]
And as old GP and few like me[00:02:13]
Couldn't give tinkers curse[00:02:16]
We've done it all our way anyway[00:02:18]
Lived with our endless thirst[00:02:21]
Here so many of our brothers[00:02:25]
In early life did lose[00:02:28]
We're either way up in the clouds[00:02:31]
Or down deep in the blues[00:02:34]
It's a way life we're born to[00:02:38]
So for better or for worse[00:02:41]
Country music singers are just born[00:02:44]
With an endless thirst[00:02:48]
Those smart bandwagon hoppers[00:02:51]
Wouldn't spit on the country scene[00:02:54]
When we were in the doldrums[00:02:57]
Now they're bursting at the seams[00:02:59]
Oh they prance around[00:03:04]
Like peacocks in city clubs and halls[00:03:05]
But fancy boots and hats[00:03:10]
Don't make a fine star after all[00:03:11]
So I'll just stick to my old bush songs[00:03:16]
The ones that I enjoy[00:03:19]
Oh you'll understand my stories[00:03:22]
I'm not makin' too much noise[00:03:25]
And if I should die from alcohol[00:03:29]
Then I won't be the first[00:03:32]
'Cos country music singers are born[00:03:35]
With an endless thirst[00:03:38]
Here so many of our brothers[00:03:41]
In early life did lose[00:03:45]
We're either way up in the clouds[00:03:48]
Or down deep in the blues[00:03:50]
It's a way life we're born to[00:03:54]
So for better or for worse[00:03:57]
Country music singers are just born[00:04:00]
With an endless thirst hey[00:04:04]
Country music singers are just born[00:04:06]
With an endless thirst[00:04:10]
Born with an endless thirst hey[00:04:12]
