Bent-Axle Bob (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty And The Travelling Country Band[00:00:00]

I was short of a dollar so I called on a bloke[00:00:04]

Who's pay wasn't good his gear was a joke[00:00:08]

You can't pick and choose when you're down on your luck[00:00:12]

And your only profession is ah driving a truck[00:00:16]

So we talked for a spell and he gave me a job[00:00:20]

This cunning ole guy known as Bent Axle Bob[00:00:24]

The rig which he owned was an F model Mack[00:00:29]

And the run that I drew was the territory track[00:00:32]

Bob's freight was the kind which no other would cart[00:00:39]

The places he sent me would just break your heart[00:00:42]

From dead ends in Balmain to drill rigs out west[00:00:46]

Where the sands of a desert put your gears to the test[00:00:50]

But I battled along and I shifted some weight[00:00:54]

Old Bent Axle whinged every time I ran late[00:00:58]

Small wonder if you saw the smoke from the pump[00:01:03]

And saw half the metal that I found in the sump[00:01:06]

Oh that's right yeah[00:01:10]

The trailers were buckled the tyres were worn[00:01:15]

The tarps which he owned were tattered and torn[00:01:18]

The dogs and the chains were all rusty and joined[00:01:22]

Oh was easy to see how his nickname was coined[00:01:26]

Every axle was bent and the dolly was cracked[00:01:30]

The kingpins was strained from the loads they had hacked[00:01:34]

I did what I could mate yes I really tried[00:01:39]

Old Bent Axle whinged till the day that he died[00:01:43]

He did yeah[00:01:46]

I'm sitting here at home an I'm out of a job[00:01:51]

No longer employed by old Bent Axle Bob[00:01:55]

A note from the lawyer I read what's inside[00:01:58]

Seems I have a road train now that old Bent Axle died[00:02:02]

Yes I'm heir to the fortune of Bent Axle Bob[00:02:07]

I need a good driver if you need a job[00:02:11]

You can drive this old rig to the scrap dealers dump[00:02:15]

Complete with Bent Axles and that smokey fuel pump[00:02:19]

Complete with Bent Axles and smokey fuel pump[00:02:24]

You can drive this old rig to the scrap dealers dump[00:02:27]

And leave it there[00:02:30]
