《Cane Toad’s Plain Code(1996 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Cane Toad's Plain Code (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty

[00:00:03] One summers morning as I strode

[00:00:05] Along a dusty queensland road

[00:00:07] I chanced to meet and old cane toad

[00:00:09] Bowed down beneath a heavy load

[00:00:12] Oh my mind I thought was in a trance

[00:00:14] I had to have a second glance

[00:00:16] For there in boots and moleskin pants

[00:00:18] He stood with proud and haughty stance

[00:00:22] He shed his burdens when I spoke

[00:00:24] He wiped his brow and rolled a smoke

[00:00:26] And said just like it was a joke

[00:00:28] Lend me a quid mate I'm flat broke

[00:00:31] Oh I thought I must be seeing things

[00:00:33] Illusions like the heat wave brings

[00:00:36] Until he said with toothless grin

[00:00:38] You look like you've been on a binge

[00:00:41] Oh I said pray tell me Mr toad

[00:00:43] Why do you choose to walk the road

[00:00:45] And carry such a heavy load

[00:00:47] Without a fixed place of abode

[00:00:51] Well mate said he I like to tramp

[00:00:53] All day 'til heaven lights it's lamp

[00:00:55] And then pull up and make my camp

[00:00:57] Besides swamps always give me cramps

[00:01:01] And while humans fight with creed and race

[00:01:03] And try to conquer outer space

[00:01:05] I just plod on from place to place

[00:01:07] And watch this mad old world go it's pace

[00:01:12] I stood and stared as though spellbound

[00:01:14] By words of wisdom so profound

[00:01:16] And I heard the old cane toad expound

[00:01:18] Oh you sure meet some queer blokes knocking 'round
