I Knew Your Father Real Well - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
G'day there young feller hey give us your hand[00:00:10]
It's time you and me said hello[00:00:14]
I nearly fell over when I saw your face[00:00:18]
With a smile that I knew long ago[00:00:22]
And you don't know me from a bar of soap[00:00:26]
And you're wondering who in the hell[00:00:29]
This old bloke could be and what do I want[00:00:33]
I knew your father real well[00:00:37]
I knew your father real well boy[00:00:41]
In the days when our hair wasn't grey[00:00:45]
But he'll never be dead son while you're still alive[00:00:49]
I can hardly believe it today[00:00:53]
When you walked in the door and up to the bar[00:00:57]
I could see him as clear as a bell[00:01:01]
You drink the same brand of poison he drank[00:01:05]
Yes I knew your father real well[00:01:08]
Didn't he ever just mention my name[00:01:18]
He must have some time told a tale[00:01:22]
Of the days on the stations out charleville way[00:01:26]
And the droving trips down new south wales[00:01:29]
A good mate he was but a bit of the lad[00:01:34]
I could tell you a story or two[00:01:37]
Like when we hit the hungerford pub on the tear[00:01:41]
And we took on the bar just we two[00:01:45]
Oh he told you that story well never mind[00:01:48]
There's plenty more where that came from[00:01:52]
The things a bloke does when he's keen on a girl[00:01:57]
Of course long before he met your mum[00:02:00]
He settled down then and I stayed on the move[00:02:04]
But I miss my old mate on the track[00:02:08]
The camps and the musters and some of the yarns[00:02:12]
Yes I knew your father way back[00:02:16]
Don't tell me that stinking great road train outside[00:02:25]
Is what you're droving on nowadays[00:02:29]
My old mate would turn in his grave so he would[00:02:33]
To see you desert the old ways[00:02:37]
But it's none of my business and I'm sorry I spoke[00:02:40]
I was wrong to because after all[00:02:44]
You're following still on the old pilgrims tracks[00:02:48]
Your father and I drove before[00:02:52]
Yes I knew your father real well boy[00:02:56]
And I wish he were here by our side[00:03:00]
To join with the two of us yarning away[00:03:03]
He'll be glad we met up you and I[00:03:07]
Well thanks for the yarn give my best to your mum[00:03:11]
I bet she remembers me well[00:03:15]
And maybe we'll drink to old memories again yeah[00:03:19]
I knew your father real well the old geezer[00:03:24]
I knew your father real well[00:03:27]
