My young wife started something [00:00:10]

When our partnership was new [00:00:13]

She wrote dear Slim from your loving wife [00:00:16]

June thirteenth nineteen fifty two [00:00:19]

The Poetical Works of Lawson [00:00:24]

Just a plain red bound book [00:00:27]

But this since fifty-two I've worked right through [00:00:30]

My bible of the bush [00:00:33]

It's battered now and faded [00:00:37]

And it's travelled o'er the years [00:00:40]

An I patched it up so many times [00:00:44]

An mended the pages with care [00:00:47]

Oh there's pencil marks on the pages [00:00:51]

Abbreviations where a verse is long [00:00:54]

But the ole red book my bible of the bush [00:00:57]

Always has just one more song [00:01:00]

Whenever I'm down an angry an the world is closing in [00:01:19]

Hey I grab my guitar and the old red book [00:01:25]

An I find another song to sing [00:01:28]

Once again on the track with Andy [00:01:32]

Gone with cattle down the Castlereagh [00:01:35]

Well I'm lecturing old Sweeney on that pub verandah again [00:01:38]

Oh there's truth there's hurt there's pity [00:01:45]

For the battler the lonely the old [00:01:49]

There is laughter humour and kindness [00:01:51]

In the stories of life Lawson told [00:01:54]

I hope that you take my meaning [00:01:59]

I'm not being irreverent an smart [00:02:02]

But when I call this book my bible of the bush [00:02:05]

I speak from the depths of my heart [00:02:08]

It's battered now and faded [00:02:12]

From it's travelled o'er the years [00:02:15]

An I patched it so many times [00:02:19]

An mended the pages with care [00:02:22]

I suppose I should get a new [00:02:26]

But I feel that it would be wrong [00:02:29]

For this ole red book my bible of the bush [00:02:32]

Been my track mate too darn long [00:02:35]

Hey this ole red book my bible of the bush [00:02:38]

Been my track mate too darn long [00:02:41]

Yeah [00:02:43]
