I see him still ole Dribbler Bill, his frame as hard as gidgee,[00:00:05]

He drove the mail on Bridal Tracks in country soft & rigid,[00:00:10]

Never had too much to say but when he did was just a drawl,[00:00:14]

And ya’ kinda got the feelin', he'd be handy in a brawl.[00:00:20]

His Leyland truck was like ole Bill, gusty, rough and slow.[00:00:26]

He took that truck through country where a dozer wouldn't go,[00:00:31]

Yeah, but he's been bogged down tyre deep, back in Coober Hole,[00:00:35]

When others turned their trucks around and headed back for home.[00:00:41]

Now old Bill would do those little things for bush folk far from town,[00:00:47]

Had a memory like Sir Sydney, never wrote the items down,[00:00:51]

Newspapers he would put inside, mailbox on the ridge,[00:00:56]

And every stop along the way, had somethin' for the kids.[00:01:02]

He was seen to be a lonely man like one deprived of luck,[00:01:08]

An outward sign did only make was that old Leyland truck,[00:01:13]

He'd caress that smooth ole steerin' wheel, ease along the track,[00:01:17]

The last words that I heard him say was, "See ya later Jack."[00:01:24]

Now the mail still serves the far outback, the jobs they handle fine,[00:01:40]

But mem'ries dwell on Dribbler Bill way back in '39,[00:01:44]

I remember every mail night, the excitement and the thrill,[00:01:49]

As we sat outside and waited for the likes of Dribbler Bill.[00:01:55]

Oh, there's many times he helped us out when tucker got real slack.[00:02:00]

Like fresh meat from the bullocks secured from somewhere up the track,[00:02:05]

Yeah, great old man was Dribbler Bill the kind who’d always stick,[00:02:09]

And he'd risk his life without a thought for the needy and the sick. Hey![00:02:15]

Now I'd like to think that Dribbler Bill still has the wheel in hand,[00:02:27]

Pushin' that old Leyland truck throughout that channel land,[00:02:32]

Should there be no trucks in heaven, it’s a halo to a pup,[00:02:36]

Just give old Bill a day or two and he'll start a mail run up.[00:02:42]
