[00:00:00] Along The Road Of Song (2004 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty/Dick Carr And His Buckaroos

[00:00:05] 'Neath the gumtrees by the roadway

[00:00:07] As the sun went down outback

[00:00:10] I lay at rest in peaceful reverie

[00:00:15] Then I thought of all the songs I'd sung

[00:00:18] About the outside track

[00:00:21] And that is how this vision came to me

[00:00:26] As I doze there in the shadows

[00:00:29] 'Neath the gumtrees by the road

[00:00:32] I heard an angel singing there on high

[00:00:37] Just welcomed into heaven

[00:00:39] Was a soldier and his dog

[00:00:42] Nevermore would he and Rusty say good bye

[00:00:48] Then along the road came farmer Gray

[00:00:50] With his dancin' Jersey cow

[00:00:53] But you'd never know this famous pair have gone all highbrow now

[00:00:58] But their harvest days are over sad it is to say

[00:01:03] But they're making much more money

[00:01:06] Since the boogie came their way

[00:01:12] And the swaggie who liked good 'baccy

[00:01:15] Was smokin' a big cigar

[00:01:18] 'N' braggin' about the fights he had in town

[00:01:23] Then the ghost of old king Bundawaal

[00:01:26] With a wild old tribal yell

[00:01:28] Hit him on the head with a killer boomerang

[00:01:34] Frankie and Johnny next came by

[00:01:36] Fightin' the way they do

[00:01:38] She said Johnny man you've been making eyes

[00:01:41] At that little girl dressed in blue

[00:01:44] He said I know

[00:01:45] I've done yer wrong be'n doing so for years

[00:01:49] And the road

[00:01:50] I travel now is down the lonesome road of tears

[00:01:57] Then along came farmer Wilson dressed in a faded suit

[00:02:02] A lifebelt hanging round his neck and a flipper on his boot

[00:02:07] He said well things ain't b'en the same

[00:02:10] Since the distant days gone by

[00:02:12] When a certain character wrote a song

[00:02:15] About the wet month of July

[00:02:18] So I says to farmer Wilson Do ya reckon

[00:02:22] I'm to blame

[00:02:24] His eyes went wild

[00:02:25] And his whiskers sand his face went red as flame

[00:02:28] Yes you're the bloke that wrote the song

[00:02:31] That's made my farm a sea

[00:02:34] And they're catchin' fish with spinners

[00:02:36] Now where my cow yard used to be

[00:02:40] 'Neath the gumtrees by the roadway

[00:02:42] As the sun goes down outback

[00:02:45] I lay at rest in peaceful reverie

[00:02:50] Then I thought of all the songs I'd sung

[00:02:53] About the outside track

[00:02:56] And that is how this vision came to me
