《Old Bush Mates Of Mine》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Bush Mates Of Mine - Slim Dusty

[00:00:06] There's a far off distant valley where the nulla moon shines bright

[00:00:14] I can see it all so clearly for in dreams I'm there tonight

[00:00:22] I go wanderin' through my memories and my restless heart beats time

[00:00:30] To dwell a while and sadly smile for these old bush mates of mine

[00:00:37] I recall the summer evenin's away out on the farm

[00:00:45] And the dances that we went to in a neighbours old slab barn

[00:00:53] I can see the sawdust risin' as we pranced around the room

[00:01:01] The old violin and accordion pumpin' out an old bush tune

[00:01:08] How's that

[00:01:42] Happy days with schoolboy cobbers there was shorty ron and jim

[00:01:50] We'd swim beneath the willows chasin' turtles down the stream

[00:01:57] Oh the bushland was just a playground beneath the friendly sky

[00:02:05] My thoughts still go to the land I know where the big blue mountains rise

[00:02:15] Saddlin' up for the springtime muster down at the old stock yards

[00:02:22] When the brandin' fires were smokin' and the day was long and hard

[00:02:30] I can still hear the old man swearin'

[00:02:34] Get a move on you blokes don't crawl

[00:02:38] The sun is high and the dust clouds

[00:02:40] Fly as we grab a steer and call

[00:02:47] I'm so sad for dear old homeward oh I've been away so long

[00:02:55] I hope the folks are listenin' and I hope they hear this song

[00:03:02] For I'll soon be back out yonder and you can bet your boots I'll shine

[00:03:10] And sing at night by the lantern light with those old bush mates of mine
