《I Hope They Fight Again(Live from Studio 301， Sydney， Australia/1996)》歌词

[00:00:00] I Hope They Fight Again (Live) - Slim Dusty

[00:00:05] I was drinking here one evening said

[00:00:07] The old man with a grin

[00:00:10] And everything was peaceful til some

[00:00:12] Ringer blokes came in

[00:00:15] There were four of them in number

[00:00:17] And they seemed to be half full

[00:00:20] And they were arguing on how to

[00:00:22] Throw and tie a scrubber bull

[00:00:27] Well they talked of cattle camps from

[00:00:29] Bourke to Anthony Lagoon

[00:00:31] And they talked of runnin' scrubbers

[00:00:33] Neath the glimmer of the moon

[00:00:37] And they talked of ridin'

[00:00:38] Buckers when the subject turned to fights

[00:00:41] And by this time said

[00:00:43] The old man they were gettin' pretty tight

[00:00:47] Oh yeah

[00:00:49] Just then the fighting shearer from the

[00:00:52] Lachlan came around

[00:00:54] He had five mates behind him but

[00:00:56] The ringers stood their ground

[00:00:59] The shearers had been drinking on

[00:01:02] The far end of the bar

[00:01:03] They'd been shearing lambs and wethers

[00:01:06] And were calling out for tar

[00:01:10] They'd been cursin' cooks

[00:01:12] And rousies and the experts left and right

[00:01:14] When they heard the ringers

[00:01:16] Cooee and the subject turned to fight

[00:01:20] Then a deadly calm descended

[00:01:22] Like the lull before a storm

[00:01:25] Which erupted like a cyclone as

[00:01:27] The fighters showed their form

[00:01:30] Oh yeah

[00:01:32] Oh the presser punched a moment

[00:01:34] With the tallest of the four

[00:01:37] Till the lanky bloke connected

[00:01:39] And he crumpled to the floor

[00:01:42] Then lanky aimed a beauty at

[00:01:45] The nearest shearers chin

[00:01:47] But a king hit from the sideline put

[00:01:49] The long one in a spin

[00:01:55] When an innocent bystander

[00:01:56] Sought an exit to the door

[00:01:59] He was trampled with the blood

[00:02:01] And glass and beer upon the floor

[00:02:05] Just then the worried barman

[00:02:06] Hollered out with all his might

[00:02:09] Are you crazy lot of blighters

[00:02:11] Here to drink or here to fight

[00:02:14] Oh yeah

[00:02:16] Hey

[00:02:17] They were battered bruised

[00:02:18] And winded so they gathered round the bar

[00:02:21] 'Cept the innocent bystander

[00:02:23] Who went limping to his car

[00:02:26] Oh the good old days have vanished

[00:02:29] In the darkness and the gloom

[00:02:31] In the wake of modern tourists

[00:02:33] And this might mineral boom

[00:02:38] And the dinkum

[00:02:38] Aussie bushmen are a slowly dyin' race

[00:02:42] And it hurts me when I see

[00:02:44] The type that come to take their place

[00:02:47] So I come here every evening and

[00:02:50] I sit and reminisce

[00:02:52] Cos another blue like that one is a thing

[00:02:55] I'd hate to miss

[00:02:57] Oh yeah

[00:02:59] Hey

[00:03:00] I was drinking here one evening said

[00:03:02] The old man with a grin

[00:03:04] And everything was peaceful

[00:03:06] Til some ringer blokes came in

[00:03:09] So I come here every evening

[00:03:12] Just sit ramanless

[00:03:14] Caz another blue like that one is a thing

[00:03:17] I hate to miss
