[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Henry Lawson (1993 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty

[00:00:05] Theres an Aussie we all know where the western breezes blow

[00:00:10] From north to south he's known far and wide

[00:00:16] Henry Lawson was his name but he never rose to fame

[00:00:21] Until he crossed beyond the great divide

[00:00:27] In a little place called Grenfell when the gold was flowing free

[00:00:32] And the miners and their money came went

[00:00:35] In 1867 when the town was on the spree

[00:00:39] Henry Lawson he was born there in a tent

[00:00:43] He grew into a lanky lad when Gulgong was his home

[00:00:47] His mind was bright he had those itchy feet

[00:00:50] He wrote a string of verses of the days he used to roam

[00:00:54] From dusty track outback to city streets

[00:00:59] He drifted with the drovers across the western plains

[00:01:05] And he waltzed Matilda down the Lachlan side

[00:01:10] From the Barcoo to the Murray in droughts and flooding rains

[00:01:16] Oh the bush was both his mother and his pride

[00:01:22] He passed by plain and mountain and by burning desert sand

[00:01:26] By shearing shed and lonely cattle camp

[00:01:29] And when the beer was flowing he was there to lend a hand

[00:01:33] With the mates that share his life upon the tramp

[00:01:37] He sang of wild bush brumbies and the teamsters and their teams

[00:01:41] Of outer tracks that only Bushmen know

[00:01:44] He saw the mail coach coming by plains and mountain streams

[00:01:48] And he wrote about the lights of Cobb & Co

[00:01:54] He told of lonely men outback and women of the west

[00:01:59] Of folk that fought to live in factory towns

[00:02:05] But the swaggies of the old bush school were the ones he knew the best

[00:02:10] Where the waters of the Darling wander down

[00:02:16] He boiled his billy back of Bourke and starved in City Park

[00:02:21] He penned his poems in a shaky scrawl

[00:02:24] But of all the old bush poets who have passed and left their mark

[00:02:28] Henry Lawson was the greatest of them all

[00:02:34] Theres an Aussie we all know where the western breezes blow

[00:02:39] From north to south hes known far and wide

[00:02:45] Henry Lawson was his name but he never rose to fame

[00:02:50] Until he crossed beyond the great divide

[00:02:56] Until he crossed beyond the great divide
