《The Brass Well》歌词

[00:00:00] The Brass Well - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:16] 'Tis a legend of the bushmen from the days of cunning ham

[00:00:22] When he opened up the country and the early squatters came

[00:00:29] 'Tis the old tale of a fortune missed by men who did not seek

[00:00:34] And perhaps you haven't heard it the brass well on my all creek

[00:00:44] They were north of running rivers they were south of queens land rains

[00:00:49] And a blazing drought was scorching every grass blade from the plains

[00:00:56] So the stock men drove the cattle to the range where there was grass

[00:01:01] And a couple sunk a well and found what they believed was brass

[00:01:11] Here's some blooming brass they muttered when they found it in the clay

[00:01:16] And they thought no more about it and in time they went away

[00:01:23] But they heard of gold and saw it somewhere down by inveigler

[00:01:29] And they felt and weighed it crying hell we found it in the well

[00:02:00] And they worked about the station and at times they took the track

[00:02:06] Always meaning to save money always meaning to go back

[00:02:12] Always meaning like the bushmen who go drifting round like wrecks

[00:02:18] And they'd get half way to my all strike a pub and blow their Cheshire

[00:02:28] Then they told two more about it and those other two grew old

[00:02:33] And they never found the brass well and they never found the gold

[00:02:40] For the scrub grows dense and quickly and though many went to seek

[00:02:45] No one ever struck the lost track to the well on my all creek

[00:02:55] And the story is forgotten and I'm sitting here alas

[00:03:00] With a woeful load of trouble and a woeful lack of brass

[00:03:07] But I dream at times that I might find what many went to seek

[00:03:12] That my luck might lead my footsteps to the well on my all creek

[00:03:18] 'Tis a legend of the bushmen from the days of cunning ham

[00:03:24] When he opened up the country and the early squatters came

[00:03:30] 'Tis the old tale of a fortune missed by men who did not seek

[00:03:36] And perhaps you haven't heard it the brass well on my all creek

[00:03:42] And perhaps you haven't heard it the brass well on my all creek
