City Of Mount Isa - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

Written by：Slim Dusty[00:00:02]

I just called in to the city of Mount Isa[00:00:09]

The old black road from the coast was hot and long[00:00:14]

And the first mate that I met here in the Isa[00:00:19]

Took my hand and said mate welcome home[00:00:25]

The sun is hot but the beer is cold at the Isa[00:00:30]

An oasis in this big red endless land[00:00:35]

I've always found such friendship in the Isa[00:00:41]

Like welcome back and let me take your hand[00:00:46]

The first time that I came to this old city[00:00:52]

I stayed two weeks and showed in a big marquee[00:00:57]

And today I'm drivin' 'round to view the changes[00:01:02]

Oh there's a highway now where the old tent used to be[00:01:07]

But the first time that I showed here at the Isa[00:01:13]

I knew for many years that I'd come back[00:01:18]

Fresh vegetables and fruit came from their gardens[00:01:23]

Just something to help us further down the track hey[00:01:29]

Across the black salt plains of Western Queensland[00:01:45]

Though the roads are sealed it's hot and still hard work[00:01:50]

Thirty years ago it was a little different[00:01:55]

Corrugation on long tracks of endless dirt[00:02:00]

You were always glad to reach this friendly city[00:02:06]

Where mateship never left you on your own[00:02:11]

And today when I arrived I felt that mateship[00:02:16]

When an old friend warmly said welcome home[00:02:21]

So I just came back to my room here at the motel[00:02:26]

To try and write a song and be alone[00:02:32]

Just something someone says will get you started[00:02:37]

Like when he waves and said welcome home oh yeah[00:02:42]

Yeah I've just came back to the city of Mt Isa[00:02:47]

And the old black road from the coast was hot and long[00:02:53]

Yeah the first mate that I met here in the Isa[00:02:57]

Took my hand and said mate welcome home[00:03:03]
