《Shanty On The Rise》歌词

[00:00:00] Shanty On The Rise - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:07] When the caravans of wool teams climbed the ranges from

[00:00:11] The west

[00:00:12] On a spur among the mountains stood 'the bullock drivers'

[00:00:16] Rest'

[00:00:17] It was built of bark and saplings and was rather

[00:00:21] Rough inside

[00:00:23] But 'twas good enough for bushmen in the careless days

[00:00:26] That died

[00:00:27] Just a quiet little shanty kept by 'something in disguise'

[00:00:33] As the bushmen called the landlord of the shanty on

[00:00:36] The rise

[00:00:39] Was the bullock driver's haven when his team was on

[00:00:43] The road

[00:00:44] And the waggon wheels were groaning as they ploughed beneath

[00:00:48] The load

[00:00:49] And I mind how weary teamsters struggled on while it

[00:00:53] Was light

[00:00:54] Just to camp within a cooey of the shanty for

[00:00:58] The night

[00:00:59] And I think the very bullocks raised their heads and

[00:01:03] Fixed their eyes

[00:01:04] On the candle in the window of the shanty on

[00:01:08] The rise

[00:01:11] And the bullock bells were clanking from the marshes on

[00:01:14] The flats

[00:01:16] As we hurried to the shanty where we hung our

[00:01:19] Dripping hats

[00:01:22] And we took a drop of something that was brought

[00:01:25] At our desire

[00:01:27] As we stood with steaming moleskins in the kitchen by

[00:01:31] The fire

[00:01:32] Oh it roared upon a fireplace of the good old

[00:01:35] Fashioned size

[00:01:37] When the rain came down the chimney of the shanty

[00:01:40] On the rise

[00:01:50] They got up a christmas party in the shanty long

[00:01:53] Ago

[00:01:54] While I camped with Jimmy now lett on the river

[00:01:58] Bank below

[00:02:00] Poor old Jimy was in his glory they'd elected him

[00:02:04] M C

[00:02:05] For there wasn't such another raving lunatic as he

[00:02:10] Mr Nowlett Mr Daste shouted something in disguise

[00:02:15] As we walked into the parlour of the shanty on

[00:02:18] The rise

[00:02:21] Jimmy came to me and whispered and I muttered 'go

[00:02:25] Along

[00:02:26] But he shouted Mr Dasty will oblige us with a

[00:02:30] Song

[00:02:31] And at first I said I wouldn't and I shammed

[00:02:34] A little too

[00:02:36] Till the girls began to whisper 'we're all waiting now

[00:02:40] For you'

[00:02:41] So I sang a song of something 'bout the love

[00:02:44] That never dies

[00:02:46] And the core or shook the rafters of the shanty on the

[00:02:50] Rise

[00:02:52] Jimmy burst his concertina and the bullock drivers went

[00:02:57] For the corpse of Joe the fiddler who was sleeping

[00:03:00] In his tent

[00:03:03] Joe was tired and had lumbago and he wouldn't come

[00:03:07] He said

[00:03:08] But the case was very urgent so they pulled him

[00:03:12] Out of bed

[00:03:13] And they fetched him for the bushmen knew that something

[00:03:17] In disguise

[00:03:18] Had a cure for Joe's lumbago in the shanty on

[00:03:22] The rise

[00:03:31] I suppose the shanty vanished from the ranges long ago

[00:03:36] And the girls are mostly married to the chaps I

[00:03:39] Used to know

[00:03:41] My old chums are in the distance some have crossed

[00:03:44] The border line

[00:03:46] But in fancy still their glasses chink against the rim

[00:03:50] Of mine

[00:03:51] And upon the very centre of the greenest spot that

[00:03:55] Lies

[00:03:56] In my fondest recollection stands the shanty on the rise

[00:04:02] In my fondest recollection stands the shanty on the rise
