《Where Country Is》歌词

[00:00:00] Where Country Is (1998 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:09] He sat by the door of the grand old birds ville pub

[00:00:16] His swag and gear guarded by a faithful healer dog

[00:00:22] He wore a shirt that would blind ya and a rumpled ringer's hat

[00:00:30] This old man was country he left no doubt of that

[00:00:37] There was legend in the lines of his weather beaten face

[00:00:43] Those eyes had seen a lot of changes in the Aussie race

[00:00:51] The passing of the horseman the death of an ace

[00:00:57] Seems to me he's doubts that we've turned a better page

[00:01:04] He sat there hillbilly pickin' on a cracked and battered Gibson

[00:01:10] And the songs that he sang were all his

[00:01:16] Every song told a story and the more that I'd listen

[00:01:21] The more I realized this is where country is

[00:01:34] He sang of mobs of cattle moving down the birds ville track

[00:01:41] And the camels carting wool in the early days outback

[00:01:48] He sang of wild eyed scrubbers ridin' flat out in the night

[00:01:54] Tryin' to ring the mob 'cause lightning's quick to fright

[00:02:00] And he sang loudly and proudly of our pioneering ladies

[00:02:05] And I suspect that one such lass was his

[00:02:11] Home in this early frontier country was lonely dirt floor Humphrey

[00:02:17] No doubt about it this man knows where country is

[00:02:29] His songs told how they did it and I felt a sense of shame

[00:02:36] And I wondered if the battler would ever be again

[00:02:43] His pride for his country rang true in every song

[00:02:50] And I wondered if the chips were down I would be as strong

[00:02:56] He sat there hillbilly pickin' on a cracked and battered Gibson

[00:03:02] And the songs that he sang were all his

[00:03:08] Every song told a story and the more that I'd listen

[00:03:14] The more I realized this is where country is

[00:03:21] Yes mate we're so far from the city here

[00:03:27] You know what this is where country is

[00:03:37] Dust storms flies
