The Melbourne Cup - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

There's a bustle in the city [00:00:05]

There's excitement in the scrubs[00:00:07]

There's a drone of rowdy voices in every Aussie pub[00:00:09]

For a year we've all been waiting[00:00:15]

And we've put our money up[00:00:17]

And we're out to back the winner[00:00:19]

Of the famous Melbourne Cup[00:00:21]

There's a pause in all production[00:00:24]

For our minds are on the race[00:00:26]

And it's time that all our worries[00:00:28]

Are forgotton for a space[00:00:30]

And the women cease their talking [00:00:33]

Turn the radio well up[00:00:35]

And with whippin' spur their waiting[00:00:37]

For the starting of the Cup[00:00:39]

And the T A B 's are crowded[00:00:42]

And the punters rush and push[00:00:44]

They've held a sweep[00:00:46]

In every pub in city and in bush[00:00:48]

Then a mighty cheering follows[00:00:51]

As the barrier goes up[00:00:53]

And there's a thousand jockey's spurring[00:00:55]

Every race their in the cup[00:00:57]

The first Tuesday of November [00:01:04]

Every year it is the same[00:01:06]

Every Aussie heart is beating[00:01:08]

With excitement of the game[00:01:10]

For they bet on dream or fancy[00:01:13]

Or the forms they've followed up[00:01:15]

From a dollar up to thousands[00:01:17]

On the famous Melbourne Cup[00:01:19]

There are millions who have[00:01:22]

Never even sat upon a horse[00:01:24]

Whether it be yarding cattle[00:01:26]

Or racing on the course[00:01:28]

And it's doubtful if[00:01:31]

They'd even know the way to saddle up[00:01:32]

But they take a lot of beating[00:01:35]

When they're racing in the cup[00:01:37]

Now the famous race is over[00:01:40]

For another hopeful year[00:01:42]

There's a lot of smiling faces[00:01:44]

And there's others shedding tears[00:01:46]

There's a battler made a fortune [00:01:49]

And a wealthy man hard-up[00:01:51]

But win or lose they're waiting[00:01:53]

Now for next year's Melbourne Cup[00:01:55]

Oh that's right[00:01:57]

There's a bustle in the city [00:02:00]

There's excitement in the scrubs[00:02:02]

There's a drone of rowdy voices[00:02:04]

In every Aussie pub[00:02:06]

And the battler makes a fortune [00:02:09]

And a wealthy man hard-up[00:02:11]

But win or lose they're waiting[00:02:13]

For the next Melbourne Cup[00:02:15]

There's a bustle in the city [00:02:18]

There's excitement in the scrubs[00:02:19]

And a drone of rowdy voices in every Aussie pub[00:02:21]

And the battler makes a fortune [00:02:27]

And a wealthy man hard-up[00:02:28]
