[00:00:00] City Of Mount Isa - Slim Dusty

[00:00:02] Written by：Slim Dusty

[00:00:09] I just called in to the city of Mount Isa

[00:00:14] The old black road from the coast was hot and long

[00:00:19] And the first mate that I met here in the Isa

[00:00:25] Took my hand and said mate welcome home

[00:00:30] The sun is hot but the beer is cold at the Isa

[00:00:35] An oasis in this big red endless land

[00:00:41] I've always found such friendship in the Isa

[00:00:46] Like welcome back and let me take your hand

[00:00:52] The first time that I came to this old city

[00:00:57] I stayed two weeks and showed in a big marquee

[00:01:02] And today I'm drivin' 'round to view the changes

[00:01:07] Oh there's a highway now where the old tent used to be

[00:01:13] But the first time that I showed here at the Isa

[00:01:18] I knew for many years that I'd come back

[00:01:23] Fresh vegetables and fruit came from their gardens

[00:01:29] Just something to help us further down the track hey

[00:01:45] Across the black salt plains of Western Queensland

[00:01:50] Though the roads are sealed it's hot and still hard work

[00:01:55] Thirty years ago it was a little different

[00:02:00] Corrugation on long tracks of endless dirt

[00:02:06] You were always glad to reach this friendly city

[00:02:11] Where mateship never left you on your own

[00:02:16] And today when I arrived I felt that mateship

[00:02:21] When an old friend warmly said welcome home

[00:02:26] So I just came back to my room here at the motel

[00:02:32] To try and write a song and be alone

[00:02:37] Just something someone says will get you started

[00:02:42] Like when he waves and said welcome home oh yeah

[00:02:47] Yeah I've just came back to the city of Mt Isa

[00:02:53] And the old black road from the coast was hot and long

[00:02:57] Yeah the first mate that I met here in the Isa

[00:03:03] Took my hand and said mate welcome home
