Old Bush Mates Of Mine - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
There's a far off distant valley where the nulla moon shines bright[00:00:06]
I can see it all so clearly for in dreams I'm there tonight[00:00:14]
I go wanderin' through my memories and my restless heart beats time[00:00:22]
To dwell a while and sadly smile for these old bush mates of mine[00:00:30]
I recall the summer evenin's away out on the farm[00:00:37]
And the dances that we went to in a neighbours old slab barn[00:00:45]
I can see the sawdust risin' as we pranced around the room[00:00:53]
The old violin and accordion pumpin' out an old bush tune[00:01:01]
How's that[00:01:08]
Happy days with schoolboy cobbers there was shorty ron and jim[00:01:42]
We'd swim beneath the willows chasin' turtles down the stream[00:01:50]
Oh the bushland was just a playground beneath the friendly sky[00:01:57]
My thoughts still go to the land I know where the big blue mountains rise[00:02:05]
Saddlin' up for the springtime muster down at the old stock yards[00:02:15]
When the brandin' fires were smokin' and the day was long and hard[00:02:22]
I can still hear the old man swearin'[00:02:30]
Get a move on you blokes don't crawl[00:02:34]
The sun is high and the dust clouds[00:02:38]
Fly as we grab a steer and call[00:02:40]
I'm so sad for dear old homeward oh I've been away so long[00:02:47]
I hope the folks are listenin' and I hope they hear this song[00:02:55]
For I'll soon be back out yonder and you can bet your boots I'll shine[00:03:02]
And sing at night by the lantern light with those old bush mates of mine[00:03:10]
