《Dribbler Bill》歌词

[00:00:00] Dribbler Bill - Slim Dusty

[00:00:05] I see him still ole Dribbler Bill

[00:00:08] His frame as hard as gidgee

[00:00:10] He drove the mail on Bridal

[00:00:12] Tracks in country soft and rigid

[00:00:16] Never had too much to say

[00:00:18] But when he did was just a drawl

[00:00:20] And ya’ kinda got the feelin'

[00:00:22] He'd be handy in a brawl

[00:00:26] His Leyland truck was like ole Bill

[00:00:29] Gusty rough and slow

[00:00:31] He took that truck through country

[00:00:33] Where a dozer wouldn't go

[00:00:37] Yeah but he's been bogged down tyre deep

[00:00:39] Back in Coober Hole

[00:00:42] When others turned their trucks around

[00:00:44] And headed back for home

[00:00:47] Now old Bill would do those little things

[00:00:50] For bush folk far from town

[00:00:52] Had a memory like Sir Sydney

[00:00:54] Never wrote the items down

[00:00:58] Newspapers he would put inside

[00:01:01] Mailbox on the ridge

[00:01:03] And every stop along the way

[00:01:05] Had somethin' for the kids

[00:01:09] He was seen to be a lonely man

[00:01:11] Like one deprived of luck

[00:01:14] An outward sign did only make was

[00:01:16] That old Leyland truck

[00:01:19] He'd caress that smooth ole steerin'

[00:01:21] Wheel ease along the track

[00:01:24] The last words that I heard him say was

[00:01:27] "See ya later Jack "

[00:01:40] Now the mail still serves the far outback

[00:01:43] The jobs they handle fine

[00:01:45] But mem'ries dwell on Dribbler Bill way back in '39

[00:01:51] I remember every mail night

[00:01:53] The excitement and the thrill

[00:01:56] As we sat outside and waited for the likes of Dribbler Bill

[00:02:01] Oh there's many times he helped us out

[00:02:04] When tucker got real slack

[00:02:06] Like fresh meat from the bullocks

[00:02:08] Secured from somewhere up the track

[00:02:12] Yeah great old man was Dribbler Bill

[00:02:14] The kind who'd always stick

[00:02:16] And he'd risk his life without a thought

[00:02:19] For the needy and the sick Hey

[00:02:28] Now I'd like to think

[00:02:29] That Dribbler Bill still has the wheel in hand

[00:02:33] Pushin' that old Leyland truck

[00:02:35] Throughout that channel land

[00:02:39] Should there be no trucks in heaven it's a halo to a pup

[00:02:43] Just give old Bill a day or two and he'll start a mail run up

[00:02:53] Yeah so long Bill
