《Paddy William》歌词

[00:04:33] Said he was born on Marble Bar, been a drover all his life

[00:04:33] With his old dark skin, a wrinkled grin, grandchildren and a wife

[00:04:33] He drove cattle through to Camel Wheel and up the Isa too

[00:04:33] And his old eyes shone of the days long gone and the mates, he knew

[00:04:33] Well I met him there, in Turkey Creek as he sat in a four-wheel drive

[00:04:33] I was glad to find his mind was sharp and the memories still alive

[00:04:33] Of the droving days and the stockyard camp when he rode at the boss' side

[00:04:33] Well he'd been a ringer all his life on the western side

[00:04:33] Oh Paddy William is his name

[00:04:33] And droving was his game

[00:04:33] But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way from home

[00:04:33] Oh Paddy William is his name

[00:04:33] And droving was his game

[00:04:33] But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way, from home

[00:04:33] Well he looked so old and weary as he proudly spoke his name

[00:04:33] His old eyes shone like beacons when he talked of the droving game

[00:04:33] He said he was born on Marble Bar, been a drover all his life

[00:04:33] With his old dark skin, a wrinkled grin, said he loved the life

[00:04:33] And I guess he's still in Turkey Creek, near the hills of Misty Blue

[00:04:33] And I hope his dreams of the Cattle Run, all come true

[00:04:33] And I hope he finds a horse so fine to carry him away

[00:04:33] And on the droving run, he'll be number one

[00:04:33] Like the good old days

[00:04:33] Oh Paddy William is his name

[00:04:33] And droving was his game

[00:04:33] But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way from home

[00:04:33] Oh Paddy William is his name

[00:04:33] And droving was his game

[00:04:33] But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way, from home

[00:04:33] So if your driving through the Kimberleys or around the Isa way,

[00:04:33] You might see him slowly riding with a big mob on the graze

[00:04:33] He'll be tall and straight don't hesitate, just call out his name

[00:04:33] Just say g'day there Paddy William, how's the droving game?

[00:04:33] Oh Paddy William is his name

[00:04:33] And droving was his game

[00:04:33] But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way from home

[00:04:33] Oh Paddy William is his name

[00:04:33] And droving was his game

[00:04:33] But a thousand miles on the outback trails is a long, long way from home
