《Bible Of The Bush》歌词

[00:00:10] My young wife started something

[00:00:13] When our partnership was new

[00:00:16] She wrote dear Slim from your loving wife

[00:00:19] June thirteenth nineteen fifty two

[00:00:24] The Poetical Works of Lawson

[00:00:27] Just a plain red bound book

[00:00:30] But this since fifty-two I've worked right through

[00:00:33] My bible of the bush

[00:00:37] It's battered now and faded

[00:00:40] And it's travelled o'er the years

[00:00:44] An I patched it up so many times

[00:00:47] An mended the pages with care

[00:00:51] Oh there's pencil marks on the pages

[00:00:54] Abbreviations where a verse is long

[00:00:57] But the ole red book my bible of the bush

[00:01:00] Always has just one more song

[00:01:19] Whenever I'm down an angry an the world is closing in

[00:01:25] Hey I grab my guitar and the old red book

[00:01:28] An I find another song to sing

[00:01:32] Once again on the track with Andy

[00:01:35] Gone with cattle down the Castlereagh

[00:01:38] Well I'm lecturing old Sweeney on that pub verandah again

[00:01:45] Oh there's truth there's hurt there's pity

[00:01:49] For the battler the lonely the old

[00:01:51] There is laughter humour and kindness

[00:01:54] In the stories of life Lawson told

[00:01:59] I hope that you take my meaning

[00:02:02] I'm not being irreverent an smart

[00:02:05] But when I call this book my bible of the bush

[00:02:08] I speak from the depths of my heart

[00:02:12] It's battered now and faded

[00:02:15] From it's travelled o'er the years

[00:02:19] An I patched it so many times

[00:02:22] An mended the pages with care

[00:02:26] I suppose I should get a new

[00:02:29] But I feel that it would be wrong

[00:02:32] For this ole red book my bible of the bush

[00:02:35] Been my track mate too darn long

[00:02:38] Hey this ole red book my bible of the bush

[00:02:41] Been my track mate too darn long

[00:02:43] Yeah
