《End Of The Pub》歌词

[00:00:10] Now in my moleskin trousers and my Williams boots

[00:00:16] Aboard an outlaw as he leaves the chutes

[00:00:20] In my goose neck spurs I rake their fiery hide

[00:00:24] And the girls all shouting around the ringside

[00:00:27] Oh he's the Feller from Cunnamulla

[00:00:29] Yeah he's the Cunnamulla Feller

[00:00:31] Now I've done a little fightin' in the western bars

[00:00:34] Done a little lovin' neath the moon and stars

[00:00:37] I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour

[00:00:41] And the girls know me as that certain feller

[00:00:45] Oh I'm the Feller from Cunnamulla

[00:00:47] Oh I'm the Cunnamulla Feller

[00:00:49] Yes I'm the Cunnamulla Feller

[00:00:52] Oh they call me Cunnamulla Feller

[00:00:53] Oh the dingoes are howling with the hiccups tonight

[00:01:00] Out where the tall timbers wave

[00:01:01] The swagmen are having a real old time jag

[00:01:04] Round the campfire they rant and they rave

[00:01:13] Stockmen and drovers and jackaroos too

[00:01:14] Are in town tonight for a spree

[00:01:17] The publican reckons they're suffered enough

[00:01:19] So he's turning the beer on for free

[00:01:21] The swaggy came in with a smile on his face

[00:01:24] And asked for a splash in the can

[00:01:27] The boss shouted out to the barman at work

[00:01:29] Fill up that jug for the man

[00:01:31] He grabbed up the tankard and swallowed the lot

[00:01:33] And then put both hands to his side

[00:01:34] But he just couldn't take it

[00:01:36] The shock was too great

[00:01:36] He fell on the floor there and died Hey

[00:01:38] Old billy the blacksmith is with us no more

[00:01:42] He's sleeping the sleep of the just

[00:01:43] He hid in the cellar the day the beer came

[00:01:47] And went on a glorious bust

[00:01:50] He drank a nine gallon 'twixt dark and the dawn

[00:01:52] And then staggered home to his wife

[00:01:54] As he fell in the kitchen she picked up the gun

[00:01:55] And so ended the old feller's life

[00:01:57] We laid him to rest where the stringybarks waved

[00:01:58] In the cemetry down by the creek

[00:02:01] And then rolled a few barrels down onto his grave

[00:02:05] And went on the binge for a week

[00:02:06] When the last keg was emptied

[00:02:15] We wrote on a cross for strangers to read as they

[00:02:17] Passed

[00:02:18] Here lies the old blacksmith he died as he lived

[00:02:21] Full as a boot to the last Hey

[00:02:23] Now in those dull days when the pub had no beer

[00:02:26] I started to save up my pelt

[00:02:28] Now the beer's flowing freely I'm like all the rest

[00:02:32] Back in the doghouse myself

[00:02:33] Oh the dogs round the pubs now are all sleek and fat

[00:02:36] They lollip around at their ease

[00:02:37] Where all they once got was a kick in the ribs

[00:02:39] Some pubs now have planted them trees

[00:02:43] Oh it's lonesome out there in the spare room at night

[00:02:46] And although I know it sounds queer

[00:02:50] But I'd rather be there with my headaches and all

[00:02:54] Than a bar of a pub with no beer
