Cattle Camp Reverie (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

There’s a rustle through the tree tops as the night wind softly sighs[00:00:09]

The cattle rest and the bushland is so still[00:00:15]

From the distance comes the jingle of the horses hobble chains[00:00:20]

As they graze the grass round about at will[00:00:26]

Then I gaze into the embers of my dying campfires glow[00:00:32]

And the pictures that I see there make me frown[00:00:37]

For they come along and taunt me what I might have been and done[00:00:43]

When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down[00:00:48]

I was once a horseman a rider of renown[00:01:04]

Who loved it all the glamour and the glare[00:01:10]

The handshakes and the backslaps[00:01:15]

And the false friends that you meet[00:01:18]

But when the heart is young then everything seems fair[00:01:20]

A home of friendly neighbours with kiddies running round[00:01:26]

I threw away to wear a tinsel crown[00:01:32]

And they always come and taunt me as I sit alone at night[00:01:37]

When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down[00:01:43]

For as you grow older and must give the game away[00:01:59]

You’re just a name that blazed awhile ago[00:02:04]

And the friends you’ve made have left you for another name that’s new[00:02:09]

Then you take to droving cattle it’s the only job you know[00:02:15]

Then by some lonely fireside you’ll be dreaming all alone[00:02:22]

Whilst the boys are having fun they’re back in town[00:02:28]

I know because I’m here tonight with a lifetime to regret[00:02:33]

When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down[00:02:39]

There’s a rustle through the tree tops as the night wind softly sighs[00:02:46]

The old campfire has burned into the ground[00:02:52]

And my dreams have slowly drifted like the smoke into the trees[00:02:57]

When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down[00:03:02]
