A Pub With No Beer - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
It's a lonesome away[00:00:03]
From your kindred and all[00:00:06]
By the campfire at night[00:00:08]
We'll hear the wild dingoes call[00:00:11]
But there's a nothing so lonesome[00:00:15]
Morbid or drear[00:00:18]
Than to stand in the bar[00:00:21]
Of a pub with no beer[00:00:23]
Now the publican's anxious[00:00:29]
For the quota to come[00:00:32]
And there's a far away[00:00:34]
Look on the face of the bum[00:00:36]
The maid's gone all cranky[00:00:40]
And the cook's acting queer[00:00:42]
Oh what a terrible place[00:00:45]
Is a pub with no beer[00:00:47]
Then the stockman rides up[00:00:53]
With his dry dusty throat[00:00:56]
He breasts up to the bar[00:00:58]
And pulls a wad from his coat[00:01:01]
But the smile[00:01:04]
On his face quickly turns to a sneer[00:01:05]
As the barman says sadly[00:01:09]
The pub's got no beer[00:01:12]
Then the swaggie comes in smothered[00:01:17]
In dust and flies[00:01:21]
He throws down his roll[00:01:23]
And rubs the sweat from his eyes[00:01:25]
But when he is told he says what's this I hear[00:01:29]
I've trudged fifty flamin' miles[00:01:34]
To a pub with no beer[00:01:36]
Now there's a dog on the v'randa[00:01:42]
For his master he waits[00:01:44]
But the boss is inside drinking wine with his mates[00:01:47]
He hurries for cover and he cringes in fear[00:01:53]
It's no place[00:01:58]
For a dog 'round a pub with no beer[00:01:59]
Old billy the blacksmith[00:02:06]
The first time in his life[00:02:08]
Why he's gone home cold sober[00:02:12]
To his darling wife[00:02:14]
He walks in the kitchen[00:02:17]
She says you're early bill dear[00:02:19]
But then he breaks down[00:02:22]
And tells her the pub's got no beer[00:02:23]
So it's a lonesome away from[00:02:29]
Your kindred and all[00:02:32]
By the campfire at night[00:02:34]
We'll hear the wild dingoes call[00:02:37]
But there's a nothing so lonesome[00:02:41]
Morbid or drear[00:02:44]
Than to stand in the bar[00:02:46]
Of a pub with no beer[00:02:49]
