[00:00:00] Old Time Drover's Lament (Live) (1996 - Remaster) (Live) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:34] Well you asked me if I'd ever been a-drovin'

[00:00:38] Oh lad you wouldn't know the meaning of that word

[00:00:42] With the gravel road beside you and the fence along to guide you

[00:00:47] And a brand new caravan behind the herd

[00:00:51] Oh a truck and caravan behind the herd

[00:00:56] I'd like to have seen you young'uns in the old days

[00:01:00] With a wagonette and horses for your plant

[00:01:03] Where the desert land commences and there isn't any fences

[00:01:08] And the barren country wouldn't feed an ant

[00:01:12] Oh the barren country wouldn't feed an ant

[00:01:16] Did you ever take your turn at riding nightwatch

[00:01:20] 'Round the cattle on a dark and rainy camp

[00:01:24] Did you ride around them singin' with your moleskins wet and clingin'

[00:01:30] And your body ached all over with the cramp

[00:01:33] Oh your body ached all over with the cramp hey

[00:01:41] Did you ever see a thousand head of cattle

[00:01:45] Rush at night time just like a mighty flood

[00:01:49] Did you hear the timber crashin' did you feel the branches lashin'

[00:01:54] And your horse and you were soaked in sweat and blood

[00:01:58] Oh your horse and you were soaked in sweat and blood

[00:02:02] Did you ever plod along behind the tailers

[00:02:06] And you couldn't see your horses head for dust

[00:02:10] And the cattle that you followed they were very weak and hollow

[00:02:14] And you wondered if you'd get'em there or bust

[00:02:18] You were doubtful if you'd get'em there or bust

[00:02:23] Did you ever take your turn at tailin' horses

[00:02:27] When there wasn't any grass within your sight

[00:02:31] Did you ever use the pliers did you cut the squatters wires

[00:02:35] And you fed them on the squatters grass all night

[00:02:39] Yes and moved them out before the east was bright hey

[00:02:48] Did you ever have to shoe a mob of cattle

[00:02:51] With horse shoes cut in halves to make them fit

[00:02:56] Did you shoe them by the hour with your temper getting sour

[00:03:00] From break of dawn until the lamps were lit

[00:03:04] Yes you worked all day until the lamps were lit

[00:03:08] So you asked me if I'd ever been a-drovin'

[00:03:12] Oh lad you wouldn't know the meaning of that word

[00:03:16] With the gravel road beside you and the fence along to guide you

[00:03:21] And a brand new caravan behind the herd

[00:03:25] Yes a truck and caravan behind the herd

[00:03:29] Not like the old days now behind the herd

[00:03:33] Oh things have really changed in behind the herd

[00:03:37] Road trains roaring now behind the herd

[00:03:41] Hey
