《West Of Winton》歌词

[00:00:00] West Of Winton (温顿西部) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

[00:00:17] His eyes were used to distance and he talked much with his hands

[00:00:24] I guess he sort of felt hemmed in a stranger to this land

[00:00:30] And a lifestyle of another time another time and place

[00:00:37] Was written there deep in the lines of this old bushman's face

[00:00:44] His attire was still in keeping with the far out channel lands

[00:00:51] There was still a strength of character in his hard old bushman's hands

[00:00:58] And his old hat tilted forward was as much a part of him

[00:01:05] As the 80 years of living that showed underneath the brim

[00:01:12] Just somewhere west of winton mate is where I'd rather be

[00:01:17] To ride out in the dawn time mitchell to my horses knee

[00:01:24] Unroll my swag beside a fire of some long forgotten camp

[00:01:31] If I listen close maybe I'll hear a tethered night horse stamp

[00:01:51] Just to see again the sunsets as the night falls on the land

[00:01:58] Oh the silent sound of beauty makes the proudest heart expand

[00:02:05] Where the lights of some old homestead beam a warm and welcome glow

[00:02:12] And no travelling soul went hungry in those days of long ago

[00:02:18] I see a dried up sandy creekbed when the dry comes much too soon

[00:02:25] Watch the wild mob paw for water neath an early rising moon

[00:02:31] Maybe I'll see the dust cloud rising from the travelling mob again

[00:02:39] Hear the whips crack on the tailers as they cross the open plain

[00:02:46] Just somewhere west of winton mate is where I'd rather be

[00:02:51] To ride out in the dawn time Mitchell to my horses knee

[00:02:58] Unroll my swag beside a fire of some long forgotten camp

[00:03:04] If I listen close maybe I'll hear a tethered night horse stamp
