Dinkum Bushman's Hands - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

The fingers are cracked and twisted [00:00:10]

The nails are black an' torn [00:00:13]

The backs are sunburnt to leather [00:00:17]

The palms are calloused and worn [00:00:20]

They're bent to the shape of an old horse shoe [00:00:24]

They're rope burned scarred and tanned [00:00:28]

But there's true strength in the hand shake [00:00:31]

Of a dinkum bushman's hands [00:00:35]

You'll see them curled 'round a glass [00:00:40]

Or swingin' in the midst of a fight [00:00:44]

Or frozen blue on the night watch [00:00:47]

On a long cold winter's night [00:00:51]

But don't think they are unfeeling [00:00:55]

They're not only rough and hard [00:00:58]

Oh just watch the gentle way they work [00:01:02]

Handling a colt in the yard [00:01:05]

They'll grip like a blue heeler's jaws [00:01:14]

Impossible almost to shake free [00:01:18]

But I've seen them pick up a tiger snake[00:01:21]

And crack it against a tree [00:01:25]

And they can hang on through the hard times [00:01:29]

To life in the back barren land [00:01:32]

Oh but money has a way of slippin' through [00:01:36]

A dinkum bushman's hands [00:01:40]

The fingers are cracked and twisted [00:01:45]

The nails are black an' torn [00:01:49]

The backs are sunburnt to leather [00:01:52]

The palms are calloused and worn [00:01:56]

They're bent to the shape of an old horse shoe [00:01:59]

They're rope burned scarred and tanned [00:02:03]

But there's true strength in the hand shake [00:02:06]

Of a dinkum bushman's hands [00:02:10]

Have you noticed the hands of a desk man [00:02:16]

They're more like a woman's to me [00:02:19]

Sheltered from wind and the blazing sun [00:02:23]

In an office down by the sea [00:02:26]

I don't think they'll leave a big imprint [00:02:30]

In the shapin' of this old land [00:02:34]

I Like to think that more will be done [00:02:37]

By our dinkum bushman's hands [00:02:41]

The fingers are cracked and twisted [00:02:44]

The nails are black an' torn [00:02:48]

The backs are sunburnt to leather [00:02:51]

The palms are calloused and worn [00:02:55]

They're bent to the shape of an old horse shoe [00:02:58]

They're rope burned scarred and tanned [00:03:02]

But there's true strength in the hand shake [00:03:05]

Of a dinkum bushman's hands [00:03:09]

Dinkum bushman's hands[00:03:13]
