[00:00:00] I Knew Your Father Real Well - Slim Dusty

[00:00:10] G'day there young feller hey give us your hand

[00:00:14] It's time you and me said hello

[00:00:18] I nearly fell over when I saw your face

[00:00:22] With a smile that I knew long ago

[00:00:26] And you don't know me from a bar of soap

[00:00:29] And you're wondering who in the hell

[00:00:33] This old bloke could be and what do I want

[00:00:37] I knew your father real well

[00:00:41] I knew your father real well boy

[00:00:45] In the days when our hair wasn't grey

[00:00:49] But he'll never be dead son while you're still alive

[00:00:53] I can hardly believe it today

[00:00:57] When you walked in the door and up to the bar

[00:01:01] I could see him as clear as a bell

[00:01:05] You drink the same brand of poison he drank

[00:01:08] Yes I knew your father real well

[00:01:18] Didn't he ever just mention my name

[00:01:22] He must have some time told a tale

[00:01:26] Of the days on the stations out charleville way

[00:01:29] And the droving trips down new south wales

[00:01:34] A good mate he was but a bit of the lad

[00:01:37] I could tell you a story or two

[00:01:41] Like when we hit the hungerford pub on the tear

[00:01:45] And we took on the bar just we two

[00:01:48] Oh he told you that story well never mind

[00:01:52] There's plenty more where that came from

[00:01:57] The things a bloke does when he's keen on a girl

[00:02:00] Of course long before he met your mum

[00:02:04] He settled down then and I stayed on the move

[00:02:08] But I miss my old mate on the track

[00:02:12] The camps and the musters and some of the yarns

[00:02:16] Yes I knew your father way back

[00:02:25] Don't tell me that stinking great road train outside

[00:02:29] Is what you're droving on nowadays

[00:02:33] My old mate would turn in his grave so he would

[00:02:37] To see you desert the old ways

[00:02:40] But it's none of my business and I'm sorry I spoke

[00:02:44] I was wrong to because after all

[00:02:48] You're following still on the old pilgrims tracks

[00:02:52] Your father and I drove before

[00:02:56] Yes I knew your father real well boy

[00:03:00] And I wish he were here by our side

[00:03:03] To join with the two of us yarning away

[00:03:07] He'll be glad we met up you and I

[00:03:11] Well thanks for the yarn give my best to your mum

[00:03:15] I bet she remembers me well

[00:03:19] And maybe we'll drink to old memories again yeah

[00:03:24] I knew your father real well the old geezer

[00:03:27] I knew your father real well
