He sat by the door of the grand old Birdsville Pub [00:00:09]
His swag and gear guarded by a faithful heeler dog [00:00:16]
He wore a shirt that would blind ya and a rumpled ringer's hat [00:00:23]
This old man was country he left no doubt of that [00:00:31]
There was legend in the lines of his weather beaten face [00:00:37]
Those eyes had seen a lot of changes Aussie race [00:00:44]
The passing of the horseman the death of an ace [00:00:52]
Seems to me he's doubys that we've turned a better page [00:00:59]
He sat there hillbilly pickin' on a cracked and battered Gibson [00:01:05]
And the songs that he sang were all his [00:01:11]
Every song told a story and the more I'd listen [00:01:16]
The more I realized this is where country is [00:01:23]
Well he sang of mobs of cattle moving down the Birdsville track [00:01:35]
And the camels carting wool in the early days outback [00:01:42]
He sang of wild eyed scrubbers ridin' flat out in the night [00:01:49]
Tryin' to ring the mob 'cause lightning's quick to fright [00:01:55]
And he sang loudly and proudly of our pioneering ladies and[00:02:01]
I suspect that one such lass was his [00:02:07]
Home in this early frontier country was lonely dirt floor Humphrey [00:02:12]
No doubt about it this man knows where country is [00:02:19]
His songs told how they did it and I felt a sense of shame [00:02:30]
And I wondered if the battler would ever be again [00:02:37]
His pride for his country rang true in every song [00:02:44]
And I wondered if the chips were down I would be as strong [00:02:51]
He sat there hillbilly pickin' on a cracked and battered Gibson [00:02:57]
And the songs that he sang were all his [00:03:04]
Every song told a story and the more I'd listen [00:03:09]
The more I realized this is where country is [00:03:16]
It's mate we're so far from the city here [00:03:23]
Know what - that's where country is[00:03:28]
