West Of Winton (温顿西部) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
His eyes were used to distance and he talked much with his hands[00:00:17]
I guess he sort of felt hemmed in a stranger to this land[00:00:24]
And a lifestyle of another time another time and place[00:00:30]
Was written there deep in the lines of this old bushman's face[00:00:37]
His attire was still in keeping with the far out channel lands[00:00:44]
There was still a strength of character in his hard old bushman's hands[00:00:51]
And his old hat tilted forward was as much a part of him[00:00:58]
As the 80 years of living that showed underneath the brim[00:01:05]
Just somewhere west of winton mate is where I'd rather be[00:01:12]
To ride out in the dawn time mitchell to my horses knee[00:01:17]
Unroll my swag beside a fire of some long forgotten camp[00:01:24]
If I listen close maybe I'll hear a tethered night horse stamp[00:01:31]
Just to see again the sunsets as the night falls on the land[00:01:51]
Oh the silent sound of beauty makes the proudest heart expand[00:01:58]
Where the lights of some old homestead beam a warm and welcome glow[00:02:05]
And no travelling soul went hungry in those days of long ago[00:02:12]
I see a dried up sandy creekbed when the dry comes much too soon[00:02:18]
Watch the wild mob paw for water neath an early rising moon[00:02:25]
Maybe I'll see the dust cloud rising from the travelling mob again[00:02:31]
Hear the whips crack on the tailers as they cross the open plain[00:02:39]
Just somewhere west of winton mate is where I'd rather be[00:02:46]
To ride out in the dawn time Mitchell to my horses knee[00:02:51]
Unroll my swag beside a fire of some long forgotten camp[00:02:58]
If I listen close maybe I'll hear a tethered night horse stamp[00:03:04]
