《100 Years On》歌词

[00:00:00] 100 Years On - Redgum

[00:00:13] He came in from Melbourne on a Pioneer

[00:00:17] Adelaide morning

[00:00:18] Warm and clear

[00:00:19] And a past that wasn't quite within the law

[00:00:26] And he opened yet another ten dollar room

[00:00:29] To a broken blind and a rising gloom

[00:00:33] And a threadbare cotton carpet on the floor

[00:00:39] And the muzak piping through the corridor

[00:00:43] Played that song he heard before

[00:00:46] It went

[00:00:47] Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[00:00:55] Suitcase held with rope and twine

[00:00:59] Cleaner's shirt and an open mind

[00:01:01] A trail of debts to mark

[00:01:04] Where he had been

[00:01:08] A million miles of racetracks

[00:01:11] And torn tickets on the ground

[00:01:14] And his only son

[00:01:16] Cut down in Phnom Penh green

[00:01:21] Police car crawled down Gouger street

[00:01:25] As he looked for some place cheap to eat

[00:01:27] It was just another curbside interview

[00:01:34] With a warrant out in Adelaide

[00:01:38] For a bad decision that he once made

[00:01:41] An instinct took his tongue

[00:01:44] And pulled him through

[00:01:48] So he left his hotel room that night

[00:01:51] In time to make a midnight flight

[00:01:54] With an overloaded truckie going east

[00:02:01] And the line ran round inside his head

[00:02:05] Was it something that his best friend said

[00:02:09] Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[00:02:17] Billabong's just a grubby pond

[00:02:20] That's busy washing ore

[00:02:23] The squatter drives a thoroughbred steel

[00:02:30] And if he runs forever

[00:02:33] Will his life be all in vain

[00:02:37] Least that's how it makes him feel

[00:02:43] And the truckie pushed a cassette in

[00:02:46] As they rumbled through the Grampians

[00:02:49] It played

[00:02:50] Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[00:02:59] Waltzing Matilda

[00:03:02] Waltzing Matilda

[00:03:06] Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[00:03:12] Waltzing Matilda

[00:03:16] Waltzing Matilda

[00:03:19] Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[00:03:25] And the truckie pushed a cassette in

[00:03:28] As they rumbled through the Grampians

[00:03:31] It played

[00:03:32] Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me
