《Ah， Forget It》歌词

[00:00:00] Ah, Forget It - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:11] I recollect his joining

[00:00:14] I liked him from the first

[00:00:16] His smile was everlasting

[00:00:19] Unquenchable his thirst

[00:00:21] Oh I ventured once to ask him

[00:00:24] What made him take to booze

[00:00:26] He muttered ah forget it

[00:00:28] I drink because I choose

[00:00:31] It wasn't quite an answer

[00:00:34] He saw that I'd was hurt

[00:00:36] And hastened to repair things

[00:00:39] But ah forget it first

[00:00:42] I didn't mean to snub you

[00:00:45] Then shook me by the hand

[00:00:47] A woman but forget it

[00:00:50] I said

[00:00:50] I understand

[00:00:52] Then he shouted me a whiskey

[00:00:55] And paid for two or three

[00:00:57] And grumbled ah forget it

[00:01:00] When I said This one's on me

[00:01:02] His heart was like old Phar Laps

[00:01:05] As big and just as great

[00:01:07] And many a needy cobber

[00:01:10] A helping hand he gave

[00:01:14] When came the day for sailing

[00:01:16] To foreign parts unknown

[00:01:19] We all had friends to cheer us

[00:01:21] But he was there alone

[00:01:24] Until the grey haired lady

[00:01:26] A mothers eyes alight

[00:01:28] Said son I'll keep on praying

[00:01:31] For you both day and night

[00:01:34] With ah forget it mother

[00:01:36] Those things will be ok

[00:01:39] We stumbled up the gangplank

[00:01:41] And so we sailed away

[00:01:52] Well soon the old battalion

[00:01:55] Was fighting in the line

[00:01:57] And you know finer hero

[00:01:59] Than this old friend of mine

[00:02:02] One night out in the jungle

[00:02:04] When we had made a break

[00:02:07] I learned just why the digger

[00:02:09] Is the bravest thing God made

[00:02:12] Wounded in the shell hole

[00:02:15] And wallowing in mire

[00:02:17] The battle stormed around me

[00:02:19] With crackling rifle fire

[00:02:23] Machine guns loudly stuttered

[00:02:25] And swept the shell hole rim

[00:02:28] When someone dropped beside me

[00:02:30] Oh I knew that it was him

[00:02:33] And his cheery voice was saying

[00:02:35] Buck up

[00:02:36] This wars a cow

[00:02:38] But ah forget it cobber

[00:02:40] For I'll get ya back somehow

[00:02:43] Despite that mad infernal

[00:02:45] He safely brought me through

[00:02:48] But not before the other side

[00:02:50] Had badly got him too

[00:02:54] In choking words I thanked him

[00:02:56] Though dying he would gain

[00:02:59] He said ah gee forget it

[00:03:01] Ah you would have done the same

[00:03:04] His rugged face was greying

[00:03:06] I knew it was the end

[00:03:09] I better man than I am

[00:03:11] Had died to save his friend

[00:03:14] And when he comes to judgment

[00:03:16] Oh I know just what he'll say

[00:03:19] Dear God I am unfitted

[00:03:21] To tread the holy way

[00:03:25] I've gone my way unheeding

[00:03:27] Just lived a life of sin

[00:03:30] But God the Just will answer

[00:03:34] Forget it son come in
