Written Afterwards - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

Written by：Slim Dusty/Henry Lawson[00:00:01]

So the days of my riding are over[00:00:08]

The days of my tramping are done[00:00:12]

I'm about as content as a rover[00:00:15]

Will ever be under the sun[00:00:19]

I write after reading your letter[00:00:22]

My mind with old memories rife[00:00:26]

And I feel in a mood that had better[00:00:30]

Not meet the true eyes of the wife[00:00:33]

You must never admit a suggestion[00:00:37]

That the old things are good to recall[00:00:41]

You must never consider the question[00:00:44]

Was I happier then after all[00:00:48]

You must banish the old hope and sorrow[00:00:51]

That make the sad pleasures of life[00:00:55]

You must live for today and tomorrow[00:00:59]

If you want to be true to the wife[00:01:03]

By the way when you're writing remember[00:01:13]

Oh you never went drinking with me[00:01:17]

And forget our last nights of December[00:01:21]

Let's our several accounts disagree[00:01:24]

And for my sake old man you had better[00:01:28]

Avoid the old language of strife[00:01:31]

For the technical terms of your letter[00:01:35]

Will be misunderstood by the wife[00:01:39]

Never hint of the girls appertaining[00:01:42]

To the past when you're writing again[00:01:46]

For they take such a lot of explaining[00:01:50]

And you know how I hate to explain[00:01:53]

There are some things we know to our sorrow[00:01:57]

That cut to the heart like a knife[00:02:00]

And your past is today and tomorrow[00:02:04]

If you want to be true to the wife[00:02:08]

No doubt you are dreaming as I did[00:02:18]

And going the careless old pace[00:02:22]

But my future grows dull and decided[00:02:26]

And the world narrows down to this place[00:02:29]

Let it be if my reasons resented[00:02:33]

You may do worse old man in your life[00:02:36]

Let me dream that I am contented[00:02:40]

For the sake of a true little wife[00:02:44]
