[00:00:00] Cattle Camp Reverie (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:09] There's a rustle through the tree tops as the night wind softly sighs

[00:00:15] The cattle rest and the bushland is so still

[00:00:20] From the distance comes the jingle of the horses hobble chains

[00:00:26] As they graze the grass round about at will

[00:00:32] Then I gaze into the embers of my dying campfires glow

[00:00:37] And the pictures that I see there make me frown

[00:00:43] For they come along and taunt me what I might have been and done

[00:00:48] When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down

[00:01:04] I was once a horseman a rider of renown

[00:01:10] Who loved it all the glamour and the glare

[00:01:15] The handshakes and the backslaps

[00:01:18] And the false friends that you meet

[00:01:20] But when the heart is young then everything seems fair

[00:01:26] A home of friendly neighbours with kiddies running round

[00:01:32] I threw away to wear a tinsel crown

[00:01:37] And they always come and taunt me as I sit alone at night

[00:01:43] When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down

[00:01:59] For as you grow older and must give the game away

[00:02:04] You're just a name that blazed awhile ago

[00:02:09] And the friends you've made have left you for another name that's new

[00:02:15] Then you take to droving cattle it's the only job you know

[00:02:22] Then by some lonely fireside you'll be dreaming all alone

[00:02:28] Whilst the boys are having fun they're back in town

[00:02:33] I know because I'm here tonight with a lifetime to regret

[00:02:39] When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down

[00:02:46] There's a rustle through the tree tops as the night wind softly sighs

[00:02:52] The old campfire has burned into the ground

[00:02:57] And my dreams have slowly drifted like the smoke into the trees

[00:03:02] When the cattle are all bedded and the horses hobbled down
