[00:00:00] Since Then - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:00] Written by：Slim Dusty/Henry Lawson

[00:00:05] I met Jack Ellis in town to day

[00:00:08] Jack Ellis my old mate Jack

[00:00:12] Ten years ago from the castlereagh

[00:00:16] We carried our swags together away

[00:00:20] To the never again out back

[00:00:23] To the never again out back

[00:00:28] He saw me first and he knew 'twas I

[00:00:32] The holiday swell he met

[00:00:35] Why have we no faith in each other oh why

[00:00:39] He made as though he would pass me by

[00:00:43] For he thought that I might forget

[00:00:47] Thought that I might forget

[00:00:51] He ought to have known me better than that

[00:00:54] By the tracks we tramped far out

[00:00:58] The sweltering scrub and the blazing flat

[00:01:02] When the heat came down through each old felt hat

[00:01:06] In the hell born western drought

[00:01:09] In the hell born western drought

[00:01:15] I asked him in for a drink with me

[00:01:19] Jack Ellis my old mate Jack

[00:01:23] But his manner no longer was careless and free

[00:01:26] He followed but not with the grin that he

[00:01:30] Wore always in days out back

[00:01:34] Wore always in days out back

[00:01:38] I tried to live in the past once more

[00:01:42] Or the present and past combine

[00:01:45] But the days between I could not ignore

[00:01:49] I couldn't but notice the clothes he wore

[00:01:53] And he couldn't but notice mine

[00:01:57] And he couldn't but notice mine

[00:02:00] He placed his glass on the polished bar

[00:02:04] And I'll see you again said he

[00:02:08] Then he hurried away through the crowded street

[00:02:12] And the rattle of buses and scrape of feet

[00:02:15] Seemed suddenly loud to me

[00:02:19] Seemed suddenly loud to me

[00:02:23] I met Jack Ellis in town to day

[00:02:27] Jack Ellis my old mate Jack

[00:02:31] Ten years ago from the castlereagh

[00:02:34] We carried our swags together away

[00:02:38] To the never again out back

[00:02:42] To the never again out back

[00:02:46] To the never again out back

[00:02:50] To the never again out back

[00:02:53] To the never again out back
