《Along the Road of Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Along the Road of Song - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[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

[00:00:19] 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

[00:00:40] 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

[00:00:54] 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] And 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

[00:01:39] 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 I've done yer wrong be'n doing

[00:01:47] So for years

[00:01:49] And the road I travel now

[00:01:51] Is down the lonesome

[00:01:52] Road of tears

[00:01:57] Then along came farmer

[00:01:58] Wilson dressed in a faded suit

[00:02:02] A lifebelt hanging round

[00:02:04] 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 I'm to blame

[00:02:24] His eyes went wild and his

[00:02:25] Whiskers sand his face

[00:02:27] Went red as flame

[00:02:29] 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

[00:02:43] 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
