By A Fire Of Gidgee Coal (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Written by:Slim Dusty/Stan Coster[00:00:03]
By a warm electric heater and a softly padded chair[00:00:11]
In a loungeroom brightly lighted by a glowing chandelier[00:00:18]
Since my early days of drovin'[00:00:27]
The years have taken toll[00:00:31]
But I somehow miss my swag wrap[00:00:34]
By a fire of gidgee coal[00:00:37]
When I wake from sleep each morning[00:00:45]
And I ring the bedside bell[00:00:48]
The maid brings in my breakfast[00:00:52]
And she fills my pipe as well[00:00:55]
There are cakes and sweetened coffee[00:01:01]
On a tray of sparkling gold[00:01:04]
But I miss black tea and damper[00:01:08]
By a fire of gidgee coal[00:01:11]
I am driven' out each evening[00:01:35]
By a chauffer spruce and neat[00:01:39]
Through the flowered parks and gardens and the crowded city streets[00:01:43]
But I drift back through the ages[00:01:51]
While the big car softly rolls[00:01:55]
To a stock route and a wagonette[00:01:59]
And a fire of gidgee coal[00:02:02]
I attend all social parties[00:02:10]
In the rich parts of the town[00:02:13]
Drinking wine from fancy glasses as the waiters go their rounds[00:02:17]
But I'd rather share a bottle with those drovin' mates of old[00:02:26]
In a pair of dusty moleskins by a fire of gidgee coal[00:02:33]
In a pair of dusty moleskins by a fire of gidgee coal[00:02:42]
