Australian Bushmen(Remaster 1996) - Slim Dusty

Australian Bushmen - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)
Composer：Stan Coster
I'm a plain Australian bushman and I've drifted far and wide
I'm a jack of all trades in the bush
And I say that with pride
I'm only one of many who are batt'ling in the scrub
Workin' for an honest wage
May be to splash in some old pub
We are ringers fencers shearers
We are drovers on the track
We are miners and road builders
Op'ning up the great outback
Hard drinkers and hard workers and we give but never lend
And we wander 'cos we know our goal
Lies 'round the distant bend
Our wives are mostly stickers so they sacrifice and save
In lonely isolation understanding true and brave
They rouse and scold and nurse us
When we're getting off the spree
And I wonder why such women stick to blokes
Like you and me
We are precious cooks and rousers thru
And brumby shooters too
Horse breakers and truck drivers taking pride in all we do
Hard drinkers and hard fighters and we give but never lend
And we wander 'cos we know our goal lies
'Round the distant bend
We take pride in our possessions
Which are mostly old and few
And we plan while we are workin'
How we'll start our life anew
But plans and cheques are slaughtered
When we hit the nearest pub
Then it's back out bush to work and plan
And rough it in the scrub
Oh we are ringers fencers shearers
We are drovers on the track
We are miners and road builders op'ning up the great outback
Hard drinkers and hard workers and we give but never lend
And we wander 'cos we know our goal
Lies 'round the distant bend
Yes we wander 'cos we know our goal
Lies 'round the distant bend
