《A Drover’s Life(1996 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] A Drover's Life (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty

[00:00:05] As I write this little story

[00:00:07] I may be feelin' blue

[00:00:09] For the swag is wet and sodden

[00:00:11] And the fly has blown in too

[00:00:14] The rain is comin' heavy

[00:00:16] And the wind is very chill

[00:00:18] And I sometimes feel like howling

[00:00:20] With the dingo's on the hill

[00:00:23] And a joke that comes from memory

[00:00:26] It was written long ago

[00:00:28] The drover's life has pleasures

[00:00:30] That the townfolk never know

[00:00:33] When you're sitting on a night horse

[00:00:35] On a dark and stormy night

[00:00:37] You see the white horns glis'n

[00:00:39] In the lightning's silvery light

[00:00:41] Oh yeah

[00:01:01] The thunder clashes 'round you

[00:01:03] And you're soakin' to the skin

[00:01:05] Tonguing for some nicotine

[00:01:07] You've done y'ur tobacco in

[00:01:10] You sit out there and wonder

[00:01:12] If they jump which way they'll go

[00:01:14] Yeah the drover's life has pleasures

[00:01:16] That the townfolk never know

[00:01:19] Oh they say it must be thrilling

[00:01:22] Out beneath the desert stars

[00:01:24] When your only sole companion's

[00:01:26] Just a mob of mad galahs

[00:01:28] And when you eat the babblers browning

[00:01:30] Oh it's best to close your eyes

[00:01:33] For it's hard to tell the diff'rence

[00:01:35] Between the currants and the flies

[00:01:37] That's right now oh

[00:01:57] When the feed is very scanty

[00:01:58] And the water hole is dry

[00:02:01] The squatter's sittin' on your back

[00:02:03] It's enough to make you cry

[00:02:05] When you battle down a dusty stake

[00:02:07] To a bore that's broken down

[00:02:10] Or a tank shot full of bullet holes

[00:02:12] By yokels from the town

[00:02:15] Oh they wonder why you hit the grog

[00:02:17] And curse the lousy station

[00:02:19] Why many a man has cut his throat

[00:02:22] In sheer desperation

[00:02:24] So you reckon that you'll check it in

[00:02:26] An' give something else a go

[00:02:28] Yeah the drover's life has pleasures

[00:02:30] Than the townsfolk never know

[00:02:33] Oh I sometimes rather doubt it

[00:02:36] But then I wouldn't know

[00:02:38] They say this life has pleasures

[00:02:40] That the townsfolk never know

[00:02:42] Oh yeah
