《Australian Bushmen(Remaster 1996)》歌词

[00:00:00] Australian Bushmen - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:07] Composer：Stan Coster

[00:00:14] I'm a plain Australian bushman and I've drifted far and wide

[00:00:20] I'm a jack of all trades in the bush

[00:00:23] And I say that with pride

[00:00:27] I'm only one of many who are batt'ling in the scrub

[00:00:33] Workin' for an honest wage

[00:00:35] May be to splash in some old pub

[00:00:39] We are ringers fencers shearers

[00:00:42] We are drovers on the track

[00:00:46] We are miners and road builders

[00:00:48] Op'ning up the great outback

[00:00:52] Hard drinkers and hard workers and we give but never lend

[00:00:59] And we wander 'cos we know our goal

[00:01:02] Lies 'round the distant bend

[00:01:19] Our wives are mostly stickers so they sacrifice and save

[00:01:25] In lonely isolation understanding true and brave

[00:01:31] They rouse and scold and nurse us

[00:01:34] When we're getting off the spree

[00:01:38] And I wonder why such women stick to blokes

[00:01:41] Like you and me

[00:01:44] We are precious cooks and rousers thru

[00:01:47] And brumby shooters too

[00:01:51] Horse breakers and truck drivers taking pride in all we do

[00:01:57] Hard drinkers and hard fighters and we give but never lend

[00:02:04] And we wander 'cos we know our goal lies

[00:02:07] 'Round the distant bend

[00:02:17] We take pride in our possessions

[00:02:19] Which are mostly old and few

[00:02:23] And we plan while we are workin'

[00:02:25] How we'll start our life anew

[00:02:30] But plans and cheques are slaughtered

[00:02:32] When we hit the nearest pub

[00:02:36] Then it's back out bush to work and plan

[00:02:39] And rough it in the scrub

[00:02:42] Oh we are ringers fencers shearers

[00:02:45] We are drovers on the track

[00:02:49] We are miners and road builders op'ning up the great outback

[00:02:56] Hard drinkers and hard workers and we give but never lend

[00:03:02] And we wander 'cos we know our goal

[00:03:05] Lies 'round the distant bend

[00:03:08] Yes we wander 'cos we know our goal

[00:03:11] Lies 'round the distant bend
