《Cattlemen From The High Plains》歌词

[00:00:00] Cattlemen From The High Plains - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:14] You may talk of the ringer from Queensland

[00:00:18] The big shearing gun from the west

[00:00:21] They are men who have proven their value

[00:00:26] Whenever they're put to the test

[00:00:29] But if you ever look to the mountains

[00:00:33] And the south where it snows and it rains

[00:00:37] Have you thought of the men from the Snowy

[00:00:40] And the cattlemen from the high plains

[00:00:44] From the high plains away above Dargo

[00:00:48] In the alps where the snow daisy grows

[00:00:52] Where the wild mountain herds are grazin'

[00:00:56] Beneath the shadow of mountains of snow

[00:00:59] Where the cattlemen searched every cranny

[00:01:03] When they muster at each summer's end

[00:01:07] In their rain batter hats and their oil skins

[00:01:11] From the high plains come real cattlemen

[00:01:14] They're a part of Australia's hist'ry

[00:01:18] Their heritage all be the same

[00:01:22] If nobody cares what is happn'nin'

[00:01:26] To the cattlemen from the high plains

[00:01:35] After one fifty years they can take it

[00:01:39] All the hardship the mountains can give

[00:01:43] They hand onto each generation

[00:01:47] Their caring their live and let live

[00:01:50] All the steep mountain tracks and the gullies

[00:01:54] Which one knows like the palm of his hand

[00:01:58] There's no room here for too many new chumps

[00:02:01] In the mountain cattleman's land

[00:02:05] So I guess that you'll never believe me

[00:02:09] When you hear what they're plannin' to do

[00:02:12] Down in town mate they're writin' the law now

[00:02:16] That the man from the high plains must go

[00:02:20] Take his herds from the mountains and ridges

[00:02:24] Leave the land where his forefathers reigned

[00:02:28] With the sweep of the pen they want to write out

[00:02:31] The cattlemen from the high plains

[00:02:35] And we lose a part of our hist'ry

[00:02:39] Of our land built through struggle and strain

[00:02:42] A bit more of our freedom goes with them

[00:02:46] The cattlemen from the high plains

[00:02:50] Just a bit more freedom goes with them

[00:02:54] The cattlemen from the high plains
