The Brass Well (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

'Tis a legend of the bushmen from the days of cunning ham[00:00:16]

When he opened up the country and the early squatters came[00:00:22]

'Tis the old tale of a fortune missed by men who did not seek[00:00:29]

And perhaps you haven't heard it the brass well on my all creek[00:00:34]

They were north of running rivers they were south of queens land rains[00:00:44]

And a blazing drought was scorching every grass blade from the plains[00:00:49]

So the stock men drove the cattle to the range where there was grass[00:00:56]

And a couple sunk a well and found what they believed was brass[00:01:01]

Here's some blooming brass they muttered when they found it in the clay[00:01:11]

And they thought no more about it and in time they went away[00:01:16]

But they heard of gold and saw it somewhere down by inveigler[00:01:23]

And they felt and weighed it crying hell we found it in the well[00:01:29]

And they worked about the station and at times they took the track[00:02:00]

Always meaning to save money always meaning to go back[00:02:06]

Always meaning like the bushmen who go drifting round like wrecks[00:02:12]

And they'd get half way to my all strike a pub and blow their Cheshire[00:02:18]

Then they told two more about it and those other two grew old[00:02:28]

And they never found the brass well and they never found the gold[00:02:33]

For the scrub grows dense and quickly and though many went to seek[00:02:40]

No one ever struck the lost track to the well on my all creek[00:02:45]

And the story is forgotten and I'm sitting here alas[00:02:55]

With a woeful load of trouble and a woeful lack of brass[00:03:00]

But I dream at times that I might find what many went to seek[00:03:07]

That my luck might lead my footsteps to the well on my all creek[00:03:12]

'Tis a legend of the bushmen from the days of cunning ham[00:03:18]

When he opened up the country and the early squatters came[00:03:24]

'Tis the old tale of a fortune missed by men who did not seek[00:03:30]

And perhaps you haven't heard it the brass well on my all creek[00:03:36]

And perhaps you haven't heard it the brass well on my all creek[00:03:42]
