《Cattlemen From The High Plains》歌词

[00:00:00] Cattlemen From The High Plains (1987 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:13] You may talk of the ringer from Queensland

[00:00:17] The big shearing gun from the west

[00:00:21] They are men who have proven their value

[00:00:25] Whenever they're put to the test

[00:00:28] But if you ever look to the mountains

[00:00:32] And the south where it snows and it rains

[00:00:36] Have you thought of the men from the Snowy

[00:00:40] And the cattlemen from the high plains

[00:00:44] From the high plains away above Dargo

[00:00:47] In the alps where the snow daisy grows

[00:00:51] Where the wild mountain herds are grazin'

[00:00:55] Beneath the shadow of mountains of snow

[00:00:58] Where the cattlemen searched every cranny

[00:01:02] When they muster at each summer's end

[00:01:06] In their rain batter hats and their oil skins

[00:01:10] From the high plains come real cattlemen

[00:01:13] They're a part of Australia's hist'ry

[00:01:18] Their heritage all be the same

[00:01:21] If nobody cares what is happn'nin'

[00:01:25] To the cattlemen from the high plains

[00:01:34] After one fifty years they can take it

[00:01:38] All the hardship the mountains can give

[00:01:42] They hand onto each generation

[00:01:46] Their caring their live and let live

[00:01:50] All the steep mountain tracks and the gullies

[00:01:53] Which one knows like the palm of his hand

[00:01:57] There's no room here for too many new chumps

[00:02:00] In the mountain cattleman's land

[00:02:05] So I guess that you'll never believe me

[00:02:08] When you hear what they're plannin' to do

[00:02:12] Down in town mate they're writin' the law now

[00:02:15] That the man from the high plains must go

[00:02:19] Take his herds from the mountains and ridges

[00:02:23] Leave the land where his forefathers reigned

[00:02:27] With the sweep of the pen they want to write out

[00:02:30] The cattlemen from the high plains

[00:02:34] And we lose a part of our hist'ry

[00:02:38] Of our land built through struggle and strain

[00:02:42] A bit more of our freedom goes with them

[00:02:46] The cattlemen from the high plains

[00:02:49] Just a bit more freedom goes with them

[00:02:53] The cattlemen from the high plains
