Gumtrees By The Roadway (2004 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

Tonight here by the roadside[00:00:08]

After drivin' hard all day[00:00:10]

Dreamin' of the old folks[00:00:14]

And a homestead o'er the way[00:00:17]

In dreams I see the old place[00:00:21]

I'll be there within a week[00:00:24]

Where there's gum trees by the roadway[00:00:27]

And the willows by the creek[00:00:30]

I see the homestead cattle[00:00:37]

As around the place they roam[00:00:40]

The old man with the horses[00:00:44]

On the fields of gold alone[00:00:47]

And mother in the doorway[00:00:50]

Just to make this scene complete[00:00:53]

With gum trees by the roadway[00:00:56]

And the willows by the creek[00:01:00]

I'd like to tell my story[00:01:06]

In a simple kind of way[00:01:09]

It happened to many hundreds[00:01:13]

In this war torn world today[00:01:16]

I heard the call for duty[00:01:19]

So I donned the khaki suit[00:01:22]

And I marched 'way from the gumtrees[00:01:26]

And the willows by the creek[00:01:29]

Now when the war was over[00:01:36]

And we much the victory mile[00:01:39]

The tiles with home walk broken[00:01:42]

And from there I stayed of while[00:01:45]

I feld up with some fellows[00:01:49]

Just to live on easy stricks[00:01:52]

At the God of bell the gumtrees[00:01:55]

And the willows by the creek[00:01:58]

But when you land in trouble[00:02:03]

And you're placed behind those bars[00:02:06]

That's when you start dreaming[00:02:10]

Of the country moon and stars[00:02:13]

And when at last they free you[00:02:17]

And you step out on the street[00:02:19]

Nothing then could hold you[00:02:23]

From the homestead by the creek[00:02:26]

That's why tonight I'm standing[00:02:33]

By this cheery roadside fire[00:02:36]

Takin' in the country[00:02:39]

Underneath the summer stars[00:02:42]

From now on you will find me[00:02:46]

Where the air is fresh and sweet[00:02:49]

Where forever there'll be gum trees[00:02:52]

And the willows by the creek[00:02:55]
