《Vegie Bill》歌词

[00:00:00] Vegie Bill - John Williams

[00:00:11] If you've ever been to the Kimberley

[00:00:14] Just like old Vegie Bill

[00:00:16] You'll pine and whine to get back there

[00:00:19] But he reckons he never will

[00:00:22] 'Cause he's got too long in the tooth

[00:00:24] And he's taken a turn or two

[00:00:27] So his missus bought him a picture book

[00:00:30] Said That'll just have to do

[00:00:38] So I'm goin' up there for the old bloke

[00:00:40] Kunnunurra to see his mate

[00:00:43] I'll send him a card from the Fitzroy

[00:00:49] He'll show it around The Glengarry

[00:00:51] To Nifty and his wife

[00:00:54] Then he'll start all over again

[00:00:57] Reminiscing his Kimberley life

[00:00:59] He'll go on about the scenery unbelievable

[00:01:05] Nothing else comes near it in the land

[00:01:11] He said a lot of his mates were Aboriginal

[00:01:16] They took him like a brother

[00:01:21] Well he had a lot of stories

[00:01:23] But I reckon his favourite

[00:01:26] Was how his mate brought his brother home to rest

[00:01:32] Still stiff and frozen solid from the morgue

[00:01:37] And he kept the beer cartons cold on his chest

[00:01:44] Well the family couldn't come at the vegetables

[00:01:48] Or the sausages neatly wrapped around the dead

[00:01:53] So they had to dig for yam and eat goanna

[00:01:59] And hunt for wallaby instead

[00:02:16] Well Bill used to sell vegetables to the opal miners

[00:02:21] Off his humble little one-ton truck

[00:02:26] He didn't make a lot of dough

[00:02:28] But he made a heap of friends out there

[00:02:31] Where they move a thousand ton

[00:02:33] Of dirt for an ounce of luck

[00:02:37] You know I kinda feel sorry for old Bill

[00:02:42] Sipping another beer in the summer breeze

[00:02:48] He's still up there in the North in his heart and his mind

[00:02:54] Grading a gravel road in the Kimberley

[00:02:59] So if you've ever been to the Kimberley

[00:03:02] Just like old Vegie Bill

[00:03:05] You'll pine and whine to get back there

[00:03:07] But he reckons he never will

[00:03:10] 'Cause he's got too long in the tooth

[00:03:12] And he's taken a turn or two

[00:03:15] So his missus bought him a picture book

[00:03:18] Said That'll just have to do
