Slim Dusty piosenki

You're askin’ if I am a modern cowboy, I hardly know the meanin’ of your term Though a fancy truck I'm drivin’ Day by day I'm strivin’ for another job and another quid to earn My rig would be the best along these highways In confidence I mention this to y...

The lights of the city are fadin’ tonight The dogs and the chains and the tarps are all tight My windshield and mirrors are shiny and clear So watch the revs rise as I reach for top gear Oh 42 tyres I hear your sweet song The gauges are steady as I roll...

Heavy load, close to home, Halfway home and here I'm yawning, And almost out of smokes, well just my luck, The old front spare's tired, engine's slippin, Dirty windshield wipers hissing, I'm sick and tired of drivin' this old truck, Mist and fog in ever...

Well the fish ain't bitin' but the 'skeeters are, Little buggers gone hidin', they don't wanna get caught, Too nice a day to be dangle on the end of a line, But a bad days fishin' beats a good day’s work everytime. Little ole worm around a big ole hook,...

You can go away and leave me, I don't want your type around, You scheme always for money and you twist my friends around. I loved you but that's over, it can never be retold Go and seek your gilded mansion, your riches and your gold. For there's a certain...

As I write this little story, I may be feelin' blue, For the swag is wet and sodden and the fly has blown in too, The rain is comin' heavy and the wind is very chill, And I sometimes feel like howling, with the dingo's on the hill. There's a joke that com...

If you will open your heart to a friend who is in need Reach out your hand with a smile you'll be playing the part Of a true friend indeed you'll be remembered With love all the while. (With love all the while) A trouble shared can often be a trouble set...

Down at the local on Friday nights My neighbour Dave wanders in, Sheepishly looking for company, As he misses has bounced him again, He drinks with the boys from his single days And life takes on a much brighter tone, And Dave can't believe, when it's ti...

The big old bullocks walking down the red and dusty track Far from the coast and the city lights in the heart of the great outback And close behind on a big bay horse astride his leather throne Sits a native of Australia, in a land he calls his own. Thoug...

Ah you mention in your letter that there's blue grass belly high That there's clover on the Cooper once again And I read too that the brumbies are just like they used to be When we mustered on the Arrabury plains So you're mustering down the river where t...

There's an Aussie boy in Texas, And tonight he's feelin' pretty. There's a letter that he showed me, And I'd like to read it to you It's a letter from Down-Under, From a dad who tries to say, All the things he feels are safer, To a lost son who is by t...

Oh I fell in love with a pretty little girl, her name I do not know I see her ev'ry ev'nin' where ever I may go She wears a silk lace handkerchief marked with a P M U I'll know her when I see her, that little girl dressed in blue. Oh I'm saddened, sore an...

My name is Bluey Simpson well how yer goin’ mate? I've been conductor on this train since 1928 I hope you're in no hurry sport sit down and settle back They call the Abalinga Mail the snail of the outback Oh the Abalinga mail my oath she's slow And I sho...

A Lot of people ask me, "Where'd ya get this hat. Did I win it in a raffle or somewhere smart like that? And how long did I soak it, to make the front go down, Or could it be that purposely, it's on the wrong way round?" If I were you, I take another look...

The brooding ghosts of Australian night have gone from the bush and town; My spirit revives in the morning breeze, died when the sun went down; The river is high and the stream is strong, the grass is green and tall, And I fain would think that this world o...

I recollect his joining, I liked him from the first, His smile was everlasting, unquenchable his thirst, Oh, I ventured once to ask him, what made him take to booze He muttered "Ah, forget it, I drink because I choose." It wasn't quite an answer, he saw th...

No one to talk with All by myself No one to walk with But I'm happy on the shelf Ain't misbehavin' I'm savin' my love for you I know for certain The one I love I'm through with flirtin' It's just you I'm thinkin' of Ain't misbehavin' I'm savin' my love for yo...

G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right Isn't great, to be an Aussie Takin' a walk, along the street Lookin' in shops, or buyin' a paper Stoppin' and havi...

You ain't never been blue; no, no, no, You ain't never been blue, Till you've had that mood indigo. That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues". I always get that mood indigo, Since my baby said goodbye....

Santa looked a lot like daddy Or daddy looked a lot like him It's not the way I had him pictured Santa was a much too thin He didn't come down the chimney So mama must have let him in Santa looked a lot like daddy Or daddy looked alot like him Well, they thou...
