So Long, Old Mates(Remaster 1996)

[00:00:00] So Long, Old Mates (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:10] Where are the mates I used to have

[00:00:13] I wonder where they are

[00:00:16] Some still wander and some made good

[00:00:18] And others traveled far

[00:00:23] Some have gathered their gear and gone

[00:00:25] To a better land or worse

[00:00:28] Their load was heavy the passing years

[00:00:31] Is the weight that oldsters curse

[00:00:35] When we were young and the world was wide

[00:00:38] And the longest day not hard

[00:00:41] We would joke our way from dawn to dark

[00:00:43] Through the mob in the branding yard

[00:00:48] One I remember when I was there

[00:00:51] Who helped me in early years

[00:00:53] When I was the butt of the stockrail jokes

[00:00:56] He taught me to take the jeers

[00:01:01] In life he didn't amount to much

[00:01:03] He came from further out

[00:01:06] He was only a lanky coloured lad

[00:01:09] A station rouse about

[00:01:13] I've thanked him often in after life

[00:01:16] For the things he taught me then

[00:01:19] He guided my youth through the stockman's life

[00:01:22] In the hard tough world of men

[00:01:39] Although he didn't amount to much

[00:01:41] All that he had he gave

[00:01:44] He was white enough and man enough

[00:01:47] To rest in a soldier's grave

[00:01:51] Forgotten by most of the ones he knew

[00:01:54] And those of his tribal tree

[00:01:57] The world forgetting the world forgot

[00:02:00] Except by mates like me

[00:02:04] So long old mate from early days

[00:02:07] Wherever you may be

[00:02:10] May the grass be green and the water good

[00:02:13] From care may your days be free

[00:02:16] I've traveled a span of the road of life

[00:02:19] And I've learned to understand

[00:02:22] Through mate ship the way it was meant to be

[00:02:25] Has no colour creed nor land
