《Born With An Endless Thirst(1996 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Born With An Endless Thirst (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:09] Old Jimmy he liked whiskey

[00:00:12] For whippin' the old TB

[00:00:15] Hank Williams lived by the bottle

[00:00:18] Right to the end by gee

[00:00:22] I too might die from alcohol

[00:00:25] But I won't be the first

[00:00:28] County Music singers are just born

[00:00:32] With an endless thirst

[00:00:35] There's one more name I'll mention

[00:00:38] His name is Mr Hall

[00:00:41] He loves his beer and bourbon

[00:00:44] Oh I'd say he's tried 'em all

[00:00:48] And some I'm afraid have gone

[00:00:50] Onto the other stuff that's worse

[00:00:54] I'll do no harm if I bend my arm

[00:00:57] To ease my endless thirst

[00:01:01] So many of our brothers

[00:01:04] In early life did lose

[00:01:07] We're either way up in the clouds

[00:01:10] Or down deep in the blues

[00:01:14] It's a way life we're born to

[00:01:17] So for better or for worse

[00:01:20] Country music singers are just born

[00:01:24] With an endless thirst

[00:01:34] When I left my home away up

[00:01:37] North many long years ago

[00:01:40] Our songs were played at 4 am and country radio

[00:01:47] Oh they called us hicks and hillbillies

[00:01:50] And sometimes even worse

[00:01:53] Twas enough to drive a man to drink

[00:01:56] Excuse my endless thirst

[00:02:00] So from cowboy songs to country songs

[00:02:03] It's been a long hard grind

[00:02:06] We were looked upon with such

[00:02:08] Disdain back in the good old times

[00:02:13] And as old GP and few like me

[00:02:16] Couldn't give tinkers curse

[00:02:18] We've done it all our way anyway

[00:02:21] Lived with our endless thirst

[00:02:25] Here so many of our brothers

[00:02:28] In early life did lose

[00:02:31] We're either way up in the clouds

[00:02:34] Or down deep in the blues

[00:02:38] It's a way life we're born to

[00:02:41] So for better or for worse

[00:02:44] Country music singers are just born

[00:02:48] With an endless thirst

[00:02:51] Those smart bandwagon hoppers

[00:02:54] Wouldn't spit on the country scene

[00:02:57] When we were in the doldrums

[00:02:59] Now they're bursting at the seams

[00:03:04] Oh they prance around

[00:03:05] Like peacocks in city clubs and halls

[00:03:10] But fancy boots and hats

[00:03:11] Don't make a fine star after all

[00:03:16] So I'll just stick to my old bush songs

[00:03:19] The ones that I enjoy

[00:03:22] Oh you'll understand my stories

[00:03:25] I'm not makin' too much noise

[00:03:29] And if I should die from alcohol

[00:03:32] Then I won't be the first

[00:03:35] 'Cos country music singers are born

[00:03:38] With an endless thirst

[00:03:41] Here so many of our brothers

[00:03:45] In early life did lose

[00:03:48] We're either way up in the clouds

[00:03:50] Or down deep in the blues

[00:03:54] It's a way life we're born to

[00:03:57] So for better or for worse

[00:04:00] Country music singers are just born

[00:04:04] With an endless thirst hey

[00:04:06] Country music singers are just born

[00:04:10] With an endless thirst

[00:04:12] Born with an endless thirst hey
