《The Man From Snowy River》歌词

[00:07:50] The Man From Snowy River (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty

[00:07:50] There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around that the colt from Old Regret had got away

[00:07:50] And had joined the wild bush horses, he was worth a thousand pounds, so all the cracks had gathered to the fray

[00:07:50] All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far had mustered at the homestead overnight

[00:07:50] For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are and the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight

[00:07:50]

[00:07:50] There was Harrison, who made his pile when Pardon won the cup and the old man with his hair as white as snow

[00:07:50] But few could ride beside him when his blood was fairly up, he would go wherever horse or man could go

[00:07:50] And Clancy of the Overflow came down to lend a hand, no better horseman ever held the reins

[00:07:50] For never horse could throw him while the saddle-girths would stand and he learnt to ride while droving on the plains

[00:07:50]

[00:07:50] And one was there, a stripling on a small and weedy beast, he was something like a racehorse undersized

[00:07:50] He was hard and tough and wiry, just the sort that won't say die, there was courage in his quick impatient tread

[00:07:50] And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye and the proud and lofty carriage of his head

[00:07:50]

[00:07:50] But still so slight and weedy, one would doubt his power to stay and the old man said, that horse will never do

[00:07:50] For a long and tiring gallop lad, you'd better stop away, those hills are far too rough for such as you

[00:07:50] So he waited sad and wistful, only Clancy stood his friend, oh I think we ought to let him come, he said

[00:07:50] And I warrant he'll be with us when he's wanted at the end, for both his horse and he are mountain bred

[00:07:50]

[00:07:50] Oh he hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko's side, where the hills
