《A Pub With No Beer》歌词

[00:00:00] A Pub With No Beer - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:05] Oh it's-a lonesome away from your kindred and all

[00:00:10] By the campfire at night we'll hear the wild dingoes call

[00:00:15] But there's-a nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear

[00:00:20] Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer

[00:00:25] Now the publican's anxious for the quota to come

[00:00:30] And there's a far away look on the face of the bum

[00:00:35] The maid's gone all cranky and the cook's acting queer

[00:00:39] Oh what a terrible place is a pub with no beer

[00:00:47] Then the stockman rides up with his dry dusty throat

[00:00:51] He breasts up to the bar and pulls a wad from his coat

[00:00:57] But the smile on his face quickly turns to a sneer

[00:01:01] As the barman says sadly the pub's got no beer

[00:01:09] Then the swaggie comes in smothered in dust and flies

[00:01:14] He throws down his roll and rubs the sweat from his eyes

[00:01:19] But when he is told, he says what's this I hear

[00:01:23] I've trudged fifty flamin' miles to a pub with no beer

[00:01:29] Now there's a dog on the v'randa, for his master he waits

[00:01:34] But the boss is inside drinking wine with his mates

[00:01:39] He hurries for cover and he cringes in fear

[00:01:44] It's no place for a dog 'round a pub with no beer

[00:01:51] And old Billy the blacksmith, the first time in his life

[00:01:56] Why he's gone home cold sober to his darling wife

[00:02:02] He walks in the kitchen, she says you're early Bill dear

[00:02:06] But then he breaks down and tells her the pub's got no beer

[00:02:14] Oh it's hard to believe that there's customers still

[00:02:18] But the money's still tinkling in the old ancient till

[00:02:24] The wine buffs are happy and I know they're sincere

[00:02:28] When they say they don't care if the pub's got no beer

[00:02:34] So it's-a lonesome away from your kindred and all

[00:02:38] By the campfire at night we'll hear the wild dingoes call

[00:02:44] But there's-a nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear-a

[00:02:49] Than to stand in the bar of that pub with no beer.
