A Picture Of Home (Live) (1996 Digital Remaster) (Live) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

My story swings around the bunch of soldiers [00:00:26]

Resting close behind the battle scene [00:00:32]

There were men from many nations represented [00:00:36]

A rugged cup united nations team [00:00:41]

They spoke about their own beloved homeland [00:00:46]

Resting far from all the tortured battle scenes[00:00:51]

On this day the lad who claimed the most attention[00:00:55]

A young Australian soldier who began [00:01:01]

Oh I have never claimed to be a Namatjira [00:01:08]

I have never taken up the painters brush [00:01:13]

But i hope my lads I'll paint for you a picture [00:01:18]

Of my homeland in the wide Australian bush [00:01:23]

Have you ever seen the western plains at sundown [00:01:28]

And the firey streaks that seem to blaze across[00:01:33]

And then later in the evenin' see a ghost gum[00:01:37]

And then silently we meet the Southern Cross [00:01:42]

Have you ever heard the wild swan in it's calling [00:01:49]

In the stillness of some far away lagoon [00:01:53]

Or seen the place where brumbies come to water [00:01:58]

They always come at the rising of the moon [00:02:03]

Have you ever wandered through some burning gully[00:02:08]

In springtime when the wattles are in bloom [00:02:13]

If you've never then you've never known the sweetness [00:02:17]

That fills the air around with it's perfume [00:02:22]

Have you ever gazed upon a peaceful homestead [00:02:28]

With the old Blue Mountains standing in the view [00:02:32]

See the homestead cattle grazing by the river [00:02:37]

From the hillside bounds an old man kangaroo [00:02:42]

In the ev'nin see the smoke rise from the chimney [00:02:47]

Tells that day is done and soon its time for tea [00:02:52]

Hear the jackass laughter ringing through the bushland [00:02:57]

Well that's God's own country and home sweet home to me [00:03:01]

Have you ever seen a wheat field in the morning [00:03:07]

When the dawn wind ripples through the golden grain [00:03:11]

Or wandered through the farmlands in the dawn time [00:03:16]

And smelt their earthly sweetness after rain [00:03:21]

Oh I have never claimed to be a Namatjira [00:03:26]

As I'd said before I've never used a brush [00:03:31]

But I hope my lads I've painted you a picture [00:03:36]

Of my homeland in the wide Australian bush[00:03:40]
