End Of The Pub (Live) (1996 - Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

Now in my moleskin trousers and my Williams boots[00:00:02]

Aboard an outlaw as he leaves the chutes[00:00:06]

In my goose neck spurs I rake their fiery hide[00:00:09]

And the girls all shouting around the ringside[00:00:12]

Oh he's the Feller from Cunnamulla[00:00:15]

Yeah he's the Cunnamulla Feller[00:00:19]

Now I've done a little fightin' in the western bars[00:00:25]

Done a little lovin' neath the moon and stars[00:00:29]

I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour[00:00:32]

And the girls know me as that certain feller[00:00:35]

Oh i'm the Feller from Cunnamulla[00:00:39]

Oh i'm the Cunnamulla Feller[00:00:42]

Yes i'm the Cunnamulla Feller[00:00:45]

Oh they call me Cunnamulla Feller[00:00:48]

Oh the dingoes are howling with the hiccups tonight [00:01:16]

Out where the tall timbers wave [00:01:19]

The swagmen are having a real old time jag[00:01:23]

Round the campfire they rant and they rave[00:01:26]

Stockmen and drovers and jackaroos too[00:01:30]

Are in town tonight for a spree[00:01:34]

The publican reckons they're suffered enough [00:01:37]

So he's turning the beer on for free [00:01:40]

The swaggy came in with a smile on his face[00:01:44]

And asked for a splash in the can [00:01:48]

The boss shouted out to the barman at work[00:01:51]

"Fill up that jug for the man "[00:01:55]

He grabbed up the tankard and swallowed the lot[00:01:58]

And then put both hands to his side[00:02:02]

But he just couldn't take it[00:02:05]

The shock was too great [00:02:07]

He fell on the floor there and died Hey [00:02:09]

Old billy the blacksmith is with us no more[00:02:19]

He's sleeping the sleep of the just [00:02:23]

He hid in the cellar the day the beer came[00:02:26]

And went on a glorious bust [00:02:30]

He drank a nine gallon 'twixt dark and the dawn[00:02:33]

And then staggered home to his wife [00:02:37]

As he fell in the kitchen she picked up the gun[00:02:40]

And so ended the old feller's life [00:02:44]

We laid him to rest where the stringybarks waved[00:02:47]

In the cemetry down by the creek[00:02:51]

And then rolled a few barrels down onto his grave[00:02:54]

And went on the binge for a week[00:02:58]

When the last keg was emptied[00:03:01]

We wrote on a cross for strangers to read as they[00:03:03]

Passed [00:03:07]

"Here lies the old blacksmith he died as he lived [00:03:08]

Full as a boot to the last " Hey [00:03:12]

Now in those dull days when the pub had no beer[00:03:22]

I started to save up my pelt [00:03:26]

Now the beer's flowing freely I'm like all the rest[00:03:29]

Back in the doghouse myself [00:03:33]

Oh the dogs round the pubs now are all sleek and fat[00:03:36]

They lollip around at their ease [00:03:40]

Where all they once got was a kick in the ribs[00:03:43]

Some pubs now have planted them trees [00:03:46]

Oh it's lonesome out there in the spare room at night[00:03:50]

And although I know it sounds queer [00:03:53]

But I'd rather be there with my headaches and all[00:03:57]

Than a bar of a pub with no beer[00:04:01]
