[00:00:00] Gumtrees By The Roadway (2004 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:08] Tonight here by the roadside

[00:00:10] After drivin' hard all day

[00:00:14] Dreamin' of the old folks

[00:00:17] And a homestead o'er the way

[00:00:21] In dreams I see the old place

[00:00:24] I'll be there within a week

[00:00:27] Where there's gum trees by the roadway

[00:00:30] And the willows by the creek

[00:00:37] I see the homestead cattle

[00:00:40] As around the place they roam

[00:00:44] The old man with the horses

[00:00:47] On the fields of gold alone

[00:00:50] And mother in the doorway

[00:00:53] Just to make this scene complete

[00:00:56] With gum trees by the roadway

[00:01:00] And the willows by the creek

[00:01:06] I'd like to tell my story

[00:01:09] In a simple kind of way

[00:01:13] It happened to many hundreds

[00:01:16] In this war torn world today

[00:01:19] I heard the call for duty

[00:01:22] So I donned the khaki suit

[00:01:26] And I marched 'way from the gumtrees

[00:01:29] And the willows by the creek

[00:01:36] Now when the war was over

[00:01:39] And we much the victory mile

[00:01:42] The tiles with home walk broken

[00:01:45] And from there I stayed of while

[00:01:49] I feld up with some fellows

[00:01:52] Just to live on easy stricks

[00:01:55] At the God of bell the gumtrees

[00:01:58] And the willows by the creek

[00:02:03] But when you land in trouble

[00:02:06] And you're placed behind those bars

[00:02:10] That's when you start dreaming

[00:02:13] Of the country moon and stars

[00:02:17] And when at last they free you

[00:02:19] And you step out on the street

[00:02:23] Nothing then could hold you

[00:02:26] From the homestead by the creek

[00:02:33] That's why tonight I'm standing

[00:02:36] By this cheery roadside fire

[00:02:39] Takin' in the country

[00:02:42] Underneath the summer stars

[00:02:46] From now on you will find me

[00:02:49] Where the air is fresh and sweet

[00:02:52] Where forever there'll be gum trees

[00:02:55] And the willows by the creek
