《Answer To The Old Rusty Bell(1996 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Answer To The Old Rusty Bell - Slim Dusty

[00:00:07] You've heard about the rusty bell

[00:00:09] That Boomer used to ring

[00:00:11] You've heard about old Johnny

[00:00:13] And the loads he used to bring

[00:00:16] But they tell me now

[00:00:17] That Boomer’s bell was a Condamine he wore

[00:00:21] And not the one we painted up

[00:00:23] And wrote about before

[00:00:26] And someone said the brand was wrong

[00:00:29] And the bell belonged to bright

[00:00:31] If I live to be a hundred

[00:00:33] I would still say I was right

[00:00:36] The rusty bell keeps ringing

[00:00:37] You can hear it every day

[00:00:40] It echos round the ranges

[00:00:42] And it’s grand the people say

[00:00:52] Old Sango keeps on joggin'

[00:00:54] While Old Smoke is by his side

[00:00:57] The old man riding homeward

[00:00:59] They were his joy and pride

[00:01:01] Old Smoker was half dingo

[00:01:03] Sango had racing blood

[00:01:06] They were faithful to Old Johnny

[00:01:08] Through the heat and rain and mud

[00:01:12] But now they're just a memory

[00:01:14] So very dear to me

[00:01:16] And the rusty bell is Boomer’s

[00:01:19] And forever it will be

[00:01:21] We've watched old Johnny ride away

[00:01:23] Through misty fading years

[00:01:25] While Boomer’s bell is ringing

[00:01:27] Just like music to our ears

[00:01:37] But now they're just a memory

[00:01:39] So very dear to me

[00:01:42] And the rusty bell is Boomer’s

[00:01:44] And forever it will be

[00:01:46] The gentle clip of Sango’s hooves

[00:01:49] And Smoker jogs along

[00:01:51] And the tinkle

[00:01:52] Of the bullock bell rings finish to my song

[00:01:57] And the tinkle

[00:01:57] Of the bullock bell rings finish to my song
