[00:00:00] Written Afterwards - Slim Dusty

[00:00:01] Written by：Slim Dusty/Henry Lawson

[00:00:08] So the days of my riding are over

[00:00:12] The days of my tramping are done

[00:00:15] I'm about as content as a rover

[00:00:19] Will ever be under the sun

[00:00:22] I write after reading your letter

[00:00:26] My mind with old memories rife

[00:00:30] And I feel in a mood that had better

[00:00:33] Not meet the true eyes of the wife

[00:00:37] You must never admit a suggestion

[00:00:41] That the old things are good to recall

[00:00:44] You must never consider the question

[00:00:48] Was I happier then after all

[00:00:51] You must banish the old hope and sorrow

[00:00:55] That make the sad pleasures of life

[00:00:59] You must live for today and tomorrow

[00:01:03] If you want to be true to the wife

[00:01:13] By the way when you're writing remember

[00:01:17] Oh you never went drinking with me

[00:01:21] And forget our last nights of December

[00:01:24] Let's our several accounts disagree

[00:01:28] And for my sake old man you had better

[00:01:31] Avoid the old language of strife

[00:01:35] For the technical terms of your letter

[00:01:39] Will be misunderstood by the wife

[00:01:42] Never hint of the girls appertaining

[00:01:46] To the past when you're writing again

[00:01:50] For they take such a lot of explaining

[00:01:53] And you know how I hate to explain

[00:01:57] There are some things we know to our sorrow

[00:02:00] That cut to the heart like a knife

[00:02:04] And your past is today and tomorrow

[00:02:08] If you want to be true to the wife

[00:02:18] No doubt you are dreaming as I did

[00:02:22] And going the careless old pace

[00:02:26] But my future grows dull and decided

[00:02:29] And the world narrows down to this place

[00:02:33] Let it be if my reasons resented

[00:02:36] You may do worse old man in your life

[00:02:40] Let me dream that I am contented

[00:02:44] For the sake of a true little wife
