《Bent-Axle Bob(Remastered 1992)》歌词

[00:00:00] Bent-Axle Bob (Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:04] I was short of a dollar so I called on a bloke

[00:00:08] Who's pay wasn't good his gear was a joke

[00:00:12] You can't pick and choose when you're down on your luck

[00:00:15] And your only profession is err drivin' a truck

[00:00:20] So we talked for a spell and he gave me a job

[00:00:24] This cunning ole guy known as bent axle bob

[00:00:28] The rig which he owned was an F model mack

[00:00:32] And the run that I drew was the territory track

[00:00:39] Bob's brakes was the kind which no other would cart

[00:00:42] The places he sent me would just break your heart

[00:00:46] From dead ends in balmain to drill rigs out west

[00:00:50] With the sands of a desert put your gears to the test

[00:00:54] But I battled along an' I shifted some weight

[00:00:58] Old bent axle whinged every time I ran late

[00:01:03] Small wonder if you saw the smoke from the pump

[00:01:06] And saw half the metal that I found in the sump

[00:01:09] That's right yeah

[00:01:15] The trailers were buckled the tyres were worn

[00:01:18] The tarps which he owned were tattered and torn

[00:01:22] The dogs and the chains were all rusty and joined

[00:01:26] Oh was easy to see how his nickname was coined

[00:01:30] Every axle was bent and the dolly was cracked

[00:01:34] The kingpins was strained from the loads they had hacked

[00:01:39] I did what I could mate yes I really tried

[00:01:43] Old bent axle whinged 'til the day that he died

[00:01:46] He did yeah

[00:01:51] I'm sittin' here at home an' I'm out of a job

[00:01:54] No longer employed by old bent axle bob

[00:01:58] I note from the lawyer I read what's inside

[00:02:02] Seems I have a road train now that old bent axle died

[00:02:06] Yes I'm heir to the fortune of bent axle bob

[00:02:10] I needed a good driver an' you need a job

[00:02:14] You can drive this old rig to the scrap dealers dump

[00:02:19] Complete with bent axles and that smokey fuel pump

[00:02:23] Complete with bent axles and smokey fuel pump

[00:02:27] You can drive this old wreck to the scrap dealers dump

[00:02:30] And leave it there
