《The Melbourne Cup》歌词

[00:00:00] The Melbourne Cup - Slim Dusty

[00:00:05] There's a bustle in the city

[00:00:07] There's excitement in the scrubs

[00:00:09] There's a drone of rowdy voices in every Aussie pub

[00:00:15] For a year we've all been waiting

[00:00:17] And we've put our money up

[00:00:19] And we're out to back the winner

[00:00:21] Of the famous Melbourne Cup

[00:00:24] There's a pause in all production

[00:00:26] For our minds are on the race

[00:00:28] And it's time that all our worries

[00:00:30] Are forgotton for a space

[00:00:33] And the women cease their talking

[00:00:35] Turn the radio well up

[00:00:37] And with whippin' spur their waiting

[00:00:39] For the starting of the Cup

[00:00:42] And the T A B 's are crowded

[00:00:44] And the punters rush and push

[00:00:46] They've held a sweep

[00:00:48] In every pub in city and in bush

[00:00:51] Then a mighty cheering follows

[00:00:53] As the barrier goes up

[00:00:55] And there's a thousand jockey's spurring

[00:00:57] Every race their in the cup

[00:01:04] The first Tuesday of November

[00:01:06] Every year it is the same

[00:01:08] Every Aussie heart is beating

[00:01:10] With excitement of the game

[00:01:13] For they bet on dream or fancy

[00:01:15] Or the forms they've followed up

[00:01:17] From a dollar up to thousands

[00:01:19] On the famous Melbourne Cup

[00:01:22] There are millions who have

[00:01:24] Never even sat upon a horse

[00:01:26] Whether it be yarding cattle

[00:01:28] Or racing on the course

[00:01:31] And it's doubtful if

[00:01:32] They'd even know the way to saddle up

[00:01:35] But they take a lot of beating

[00:01:37] When they're racing in the cup

[00:01:40] Now the famous race is over

[00:01:42] For another hopeful year

[00:01:44] There's a lot of smiling faces

[00:01:46] And there's others shedding tears

[00:01:49] There's a battler made a fortune

[00:01:51] And a wealthy man hard-up

[00:01:53] But win or lose they're waiting

[00:01:55] Now for next year's Melbourne Cup

[00:01:57] Oh that's right

[00:02:00] There's a bustle in the city

[00:02:02] There's excitement in the scrubs

[00:02:04] There's a drone of rowdy voices

[00:02:06] In every Aussie pub

[00:02:09] And the battler makes a fortune

[00:02:11] And a wealthy man hard-up

[00:02:13] But win or lose they're waiting

[00:02:15] For the next Melbourne Cup

[00:02:18] There's a bustle in the city

[00:02:19] There's excitement in the scrubs

[00:02:21] And a drone of rowdy voices in every Aussie pub

[00:02:27] And the battler makes a fortune

[00:02:28] And a wealthy man hard-up
