Old Riders In The Grandstand (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
I'm seated in the grandstand at a big-time rodeo[00:00:07]
With my walking stick beside me as I watch the scene below[00:00:12]
There are youngon's ridin' outlaws as I did when young and free[00:00:17]
And I wonder are there many old ex-riders here like me[00:00:23]
The horses they are ridin' couldn't buck to save their hide[00:00:30]
Oh I'd like to see these youngon's on the ones I used to ride[00:00:35]
I've used the likes of spinifex for a night horse on the run[00:00:41]
And brahma bulls like Wadgerra we rode them just for fun[00:00:46]
The saddles they are using are designed to hold you in[00:01:00]
And the halter shanks are silky so as not to hurt your skin[00:01:05]
We rode in flattened Poleans in the days of long ago[00:01:10]
And could have rolled a smoke aboard the likes of Curio[00:01:15]
The steers they use for doggin' are no bigger than a calf[00:01:23]
And the time they take to throw them make us old timers laugh[00:01:28]
We used to scrub big Mickey's twice the size in cattle yards[00:01:33]
Oh but that was many years ago way back when times were hard[00:01:38]
These youngon's dress so lairy in their fancy cowboy suits[00:01:52]
We used to ride in moleskins and a pair of Bluecha boots[00:01:57]
But all our glory's vanished we're forgotten men it seems[00:02:03]
Old riders in the grandstand alone with all our dreams[00:02:08]
