《Far Grandest Homestead Of All》歌词

[00:00:00] Far Grandest Homestead Of All - Slim Dusty

[00:00:05] In the shade of a friendly old gum tree

[00:00:09] A dying young stockman there lay

[00:00:14] As the sun went to rest o'er the hills in the west

[00:00:18] At the close of a long summers day

[00:00:23] His comrades have gathered around him

[00:00:28] As his twilight hours rolled on

[00:00:32] And the message he gave them are leaving

[00:00:37] While I've humbly put into song

[00:00:44] I leave you dear pals of the bush land

[00:00:48] I bid you farewell with a smile

[00:00:53] Don't let there be woes my time's come to go

[00:00:57] But 'twill only be for a short while

[00:01:01] In a land where temptation is banished

[00:01:06] Where sorrows will never recall

[00:01:10] I'll meet you up there with our Saviour

[00:01:15] At the far grandest homestead of all

[00:01:24] "There'll be cattle so grand for each muster

[00:01:28] On the plains roaming wide way out there

[00:01:33] And clover so green such as we've never seen

[00:01:38] And a bush like the maiden so fair

[00:01:43] When the bridle and saddle are covered

[00:01:47] With cobwebs and dust on the wall

[00:01:52] Just remember I'll need them up yonder

[00:01:57] At the far grandest homestead of all

[00:02:01] Tell mother back home who is waitin

[00:02:06] Although it is our parting day

[00:02:10] Tell her not to weep those vows I did keep

[00:02:15] And I'll meet her in heaven some day

[00:02:20] Shadows are creeping around me

[00:02:24] And thundering who's beat I hear fall

[00:02:28] Oh it's time to be ready and riding

[00:02:33] For the far grandest homestead of all
