I Hope They Fight Again (Live) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
I was drinking here one evening said[00:00:05]
The old man with a grin[00:00:07]
And everything was peaceful til some[00:00:10]
Ringer blokes came in[00:00:12]
There were four of them in number[00:00:15]
And they seemed to be half full[00:00:17]
And they were arguing on how to[00:00:20]
Throw and tie a scrubber bull[00:00:22]
Well they talked of cattle camps from[00:00:27]
Bourke to Anthony Lagoon[00:00:29]
And they talked of runnin' scrubbers[00:00:31]
Neath the glimmer of the moon[00:00:33]
And they talked of ridin'[00:00:37]
Buckers when the subject turned to fights[00:00:38]
And by this time said[00:00:41]
The old man they were gettin' pretty tight[00:00:43]
Oh yeah[00:00:47]
Just then the fighting shearer from the[00:00:49]
Lachlan came around[00:00:52]
He had five mates behind him but[00:00:54]
The ringers stood their ground[00:00:56]
The shearers had been drinking on[00:00:59]
The far end of the bar[00:01:02]
They'd been shearing lambs and wethers[00:01:03]
And were calling out for tar[00:01:06]
They'd been cursin' cooks[00:01:10]
And rousies and the experts left and right[00:01:12]
When they heard the ringers[00:01:14]
Cooee and the subject turned to fight[00:01:16]
Then a deadly calm descended[00:01:20]
Like the lull before a storm[00:01:22]
Which erupted like a cyclone as[00:01:25]
The fighters showed their form[00:01:27]
Oh yeah[00:01:30]
Oh the presser punched a moment[00:01:32]
With the tallest of the four[00:01:34]
Till the lanky bloke connected[00:01:37]
And he crumpled to the floor[00:01:39]
Then lanky aimed a beauty at[00:01:42]
The nearest shearers chin[00:01:45]
But a king hit from the sideline put[00:01:47]
The long one in a spin[00:01:49]
When an innocent bystander[00:01:55]
Sought an exit to the door[00:01:56]
He was trampled with the blood[00:01:59]
And glass and beer upon the floor[00:02:01]
Just then the worried barman[00:02:05]
Hollered out with all his might[00:02:06]
Are you crazy lot of blighters[00:02:09]
Here to drink or here to fight [00:02:11]
Oh yeah[00:02:14]
Hey[00:02:16]
They were battered bruised[00:02:17]
And winded so they gathered round the bar[00:02:18]
'Cept the innocent bystander[00:02:21]
Who went limping to his car[00:02:23]
Oh the good old days have vanished[00:02:26]
In the darkness and the gloom[00:02:29]
In the wake of modern tourists[00:02:31]
And this might mineral boom[00:02:33]
And the dinkum[00:02:38]
Aussie bushmen are a slowly dyin' race[00:02:38]
And it hurts me when I see[00:02:42]
The type that come to take their place[00:02:44]
So I come here every evening and[00:02:47]
I sit and reminisce[00:02:50]
Cos another blue like that one is a thing[00:02:52]
I'd hate to miss[00:02:55]
Oh yeah[00:02:57]
Hey[00:02:59]
I was drinking here one evening said[00:03:00]
The old man with a grin[00:03:02]
And everything was peaceful[00:03:04]
Til some ringer blokes came in[00:03:06]
So I come here every evening[00:03:09]
Just sit ramanless[00:03:12]
Caz another blue like that one is a thing[00:03:14]
I hate to miss[00:03:17]
