《Old Gidgee Tree(Live From Australia/1973 / 1996 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Gidgee Tree (Live) (1996 - Remaster) (Live) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)
[00:00:22] I will tell a story true but you may doubt me
[00:00:28] And you may need a little salt to get it down
[00:00:35] A Coastal town improvement league decided
[00:00:41] To add some outback flavour to their town
[00:00:47] They transported to the coast a knarled old gidgee
[00:00:53] Transplanted it within their civic park
[00:00:59] It looked out of place with tough old twisted branches
[00:01:05] And scars where stock had rubbed against it's bark
[00:01:11] Well they cared for it and soon it started blooming
[00:01:18] But the seeds that fell lay dormant on the ground
[00:01:24] Oh the coastal trees and shrubs around ignored it
[00:01:30] And soon it's leaves and branches withered down
[00:01:35] As it happened in the town there lived a bushman
[00:01:41] Who'd been ruined by hardships of a drought
[00:01:48] And one day as he was strolling through that parkland
[00:01:54] He saw that tree and gave a joyful shout
[00:02:00] So he went there ev'ry day and dreamed beneath it
[00:02:06] And somehow that old tree just seemed to know
[00:02:12] For it started blooming once again and this time
[00:02:18] The seeds that fell at once began to grow
[00:02:23] But the man was out of place just as the tree was
[00:02:29] He was old and knew no other way of life
[00:02:35] And his health was failing through the smog pollution
[00:02:41] And the knowledge of his hard financial strife
[00:02:59] So the bushman died beneath that tree one ev'nin'
[00:03:05] And it's strange to say within a week or so
[00:03:12] The seedlings and the tree began to wither
[00:03:17] No matter what was done to make them grow
[00:03:23] For the old tree had no will to go on living
[00:03:29] Like the spirit broken bushman from the west
[00:03:35] He'd been brought there by some relatives in kindness
[00:03:41] Like the tree the people thought they did their best
[00:03:47] But where ringers boiled their quarts beneath that old tree
[00:03:53] And tied their bridal reins upon it limbs
[00:03:59] There was push bikes leaned against it and at night
[00:04:05] There were parties with their stubbies and their cans
[00:04:11] 'Tis the story of a tree and one old bushman
[00:04:17] Who were taken from their home against their will
[00:04:23] And the moral of it is that very often
[00:04:29] For it's well intended kindness that can kill
