I CAN STILL HEAR DAD SWEARING[00:00:00]

When I was a kid we worked without pay[00:00:09]

I loved best the harvest and stookin’ the hay[00:00:13]

Sisters and brothers in knockabout clothes[00:00:17]

They were the good days and good times were those[00:00:21]

I can still hear dad swearin’ when we let down the gap[00:00:25]

And the horses spread out through the stooks on the flat[00:00:29]

And poor old mum scoldin’ like a bush woman can[00:00:32]

Pray the lord he’s not listenin’ to the talk from that man[00:00:36]

I helped with the musterin’ for the shearings in June[00:00:42]

And worked in the shed through the long afternoons[00:00:46]

Pickin’ up fleeces and sweepin’ the board[00:00:49]

And fetchin’ the lunches I did what I could[00:00:54]

I can still hear dad swearin’ at the stubborn old ewes[00:00:58]

And we dared not repeat any words that he used[00:01:01]

And poor old mum scoldin’ like a bush woman can[00:01:05]

Pray the lord he’s not listenin’ to the talk from that man[00:01:08]

We all learned to ride on the old pony mare[00:01:22]

But the big rangy vealers were more than a dare[00:01:25]

We’d bring up the cows to the old cattle yard[00:01:29]

The ground where we rode them was dusty and hard[00:01:32]

I can still hear dad swearin’ when we rode our old bull[00:01:37]

Straight into the chaff shed and out through the wall[00:01:41]

And poor old mum scoldin’ like a bush woman can[00:01:44]

Pray the lord he’s not listenin’ to the talk from that man[00:01:48]

Dad bought me a shotgun when I was 14[00:01:54]

I soon got my chance to show I was keen[00:01:58]

The dogs were all barkin’ so I went for a look[00:02:01]

And a mangy old fox was there stealin’ the chooks[00:02:05]

I can still hear dad swearin’ when I splattered with shot[00:02:08]

The rear of the outhouse whilst shootin’ that fox[00:02:13]

And poor old mum scoldin’ like a bush woman can[00:02:17]

Pray the lord he’s not listenin’ to the talk from that man[00:02:20]

Twas many long hours we spent with the dogs[00:02:35]

Flushin’ out rabbits from the old hollow logs[00:02:39]

In the foothills and scrub where the gullies abound[00:02:41]

We knew all the places where game could be found[00:02:46]

I can still hear dad swearin’ as we burnt that old log[00:02:51]

The day the big snake bit his best kelpie dog[00:02:54]

And poor old mum scoldin’ like a bush woman can[00:02:58]

Pray the lord he’s not listenin’ to the talk from that man[00:03:01]

But those days have vanished like childhood they’ve flown[00:03:07]

An abandoned old house in the bush stands alone[00:03:11]

Where a ghostly old figure in a big floppy hat[00:03:14]

Still brings us our lunch through the stooks on the flat[00:03:19]

I can still dad swearin’ as we buried old mum[00:03:23]

As we stood by her grave in the warm autumn sun[00:03:26]

And still hear her scoldin’ like a bush woman can[00:03:30]

Pray the lord he’s not listenin’ to the talk from that man[00:03:33]
