Old Time Drover's Lament (Live) (1996 - Remaster) (Live) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

Well you asked me if I'd ever been a-drovin' [00:00:34]

Oh lad you wouldn't know the meaning of that word [00:00:38]

With the gravel road beside you and the fence along to guide you [00:00:42]

And a brand new caravan behind the herd [00:00:47]

Oh a truck and caravan behind the herd [00:00:51]

I'd like to have seen you young'uns in the old days [00:00:56]

With a wagonette and horses for your plant [00:01:00]

Where the desert land commences and there isn't any fences [00:01:03]

And the barren country wouldn't feed an ant [00:01:08]

Oh the barren country wouldn't feed an ant [00:01:12]

Did you ever take your turn at riding nightwatch [00:01:16]

'Round the cattle on a dark and rainy camp [00:01:20]

Did you ride around them singin' with your moleskins wet and clingin' [00:01:24]

And your body ached all over with the cramp[00:01:30]

Oh your body ached all over with the cramp hey [00:01:33]

Did you ever see a thousand head of cattle [00:01:41]

Rush at night time just like a mighty flood [00:01:45]

Did you hear the timber crashin' did you feel the branches lashin' [00:01:49]

And your horse and you were soaked in sweat and blood [00:01:54]

Oh your horse and you were soaked in sweat and blood [00:01:58]

Did you ever plod along behind the tailers[00:02:02]

And you couldn't see your horses head for dust [00:02:06]

And the cattle that you followed they were very weak and hollow [00:02:10]

And you wondered if you'd get'em there or bust [00:02:14]

You were doubtful if you'd get'em there or bust [00:02:18]

Did you ever take your turn at tailin' horses [00:02:23]

When there wasn't any grass within your sight [00:02:27]

Did you ever use the pliers did you cut the squatters wires [00:02:31]

And you fed them on the squatters grass all night [00:02:35]

Yes and moved them out before the east was bright hey [00:02:39]

Did you ever have to shoe a mob of cattle[00:02:48]

With horse shoes cut in halves to make them fit [00:02:51]

Did you shoe them by the hour with your temper getting sour [00:02:56]

From break of dawn until the lamps were lit [00:03:00]

Yes you worked all day until the lamps were lit [00:03:04]

So you asked me if I'd ever been a-drovin' [00:03:08]

Oh lad you wouldn't know the meaning of that word [00:03:12]

With the gravel road beside you and the fence along to guide you [00:03:16]

And a brand new caravan behind the herd [00:03:21]

Yes a truck and caravan behind the herd [00:03:25]

Not like the old days now behind the herd [00:03:29]

Oh things have really changed in behind the herd [00:03:33]

Road trains roaring now behind the herd [00:03:37]

Hey[00:03:41]
