[00:00:00] Answer To The Pub With No Beer - Slim Dusty

[00:00:02] Written by：Slim Dusty/Whittaker

[00:00:05] Where the hills roll away

[00:00:07] From a small country town

[00:00:10] There are hearts filled with sorrow

[00:00:12] As the word spread around

[00:00:15] And the jackass won't laugh

[00:00:17] Cause there's no jokes to hear

[00:00:20] So let me tell you

[00:00:21] The reason for the pub with no beer

[00:00:29] Broken down on the track

[00:00:31] Cos he stripped out the gear

[00:00:33] There's the old grey blitz wagon

[00:00:36] The one with the beer

[00:00:38] And the driver's near mad

[00:00:41] Standing scratching his ear

[00:00:43] He knows just what they're thinking

[00:00:46] At the pub with no beer

[00:00:50] When the drover rides out

[00:00:52] And draws straight by the truck

[00:00:55] He joins in with the driver

[00:00:57] And curses their luck

[00:01:00] Where's billy the blacksmith

[00:01:02] We could do with him here

[00:01:04] But Bill's moved on to grafton

[00:01:07] Where the brewery stands near

[00:01:13] So the drover rides back

[00:01:15] With a brilliant idea

[00:01:18] He rides hard in the saddle

[00:01:20] Till the town's drawing near

[00:01:23] He dismounts in the lane

[00:01:25] And the dog cringes near

[00:01:28] And the swaggie's

[00:01:29] Just leaving the pub with no beer

[00:01:34] There's exitement all round

[00:01:37] As the drover tells where

[00:01:39] The old blitzen bus is

[00:01:42] On the plain way out there

[00:01:44] Every man that can ride

[00:01:46] Says the drover to all

[00:01:49] Saddle up let's get moving

[00:01:52] And bring back the haul

[00:01:58] When the boys rode back in

[00:02:00] What a strange sight they made

[00:02:03] They charged into the pound

[00:02:05] Like the old light brigade

[00:02:08] With tow ropes and tackle

[00:02:10] They all pulled as one

[00:02:13] And the old blitz moved faster

[00:02:15] Than she ever had done

[00:02:19] Soon the kegs were rolled in

[00:02:21] One was placed on the bar

[00:02:24] It filled all the glasses

[00:02:26] Every jug and each jar

[00:02:29] Then the word passed around

[00:02:31] And they all gave a cheer

[00:02:34] And there was laughter once more

[00:02:36] In the pub with no beer
