Old Time Country Halls(Live from Studio 301， Sydney， Australia/1996) - Slim Dusty

Hey
As I pick up my guitar to sing another song
I hear the walls of this old hall
You've done this thing too long
You know you've been around for years
I guess you've shown us all
I talk like this when I reminisce
With an old time country hall
I joined a tent show as a kid
With a dream and an old guitar
De Silvers All-Star Cavalcade and Dante was the star
He taught me lots about the game today I understand
He was a great magician Dante was a fine old man
I'm a howling cattle camp crooner
I'm an old time dinosaur
Hey let me sing where the rafters ring
In an old time country hall
Take where
Hey
Oh ya
I've been on the road for thirty years
But Dante could double that
And you'll find his faded posters
Still in some halls way out back
I like to go back stage
And dream sometimes and just recall
The shows I've had the good and bad
Shared with these country halls
Take the old Town Hall Kalgoorlie
With it's old time charm and grace
That your multi million complexes never will replace
All glass and steel and concrete
Some large and some too small
And let me sing where the rafters ring
In an old time country hall
I'm a howling cattle camp crooner
I'm an old time dinosaur
Hey let me sing where the rafters ring
In an old time country hall
I'm a howling cattle camp crooner
I'm an old time dinosaur
Hey let me sing where the rafters ring
In an old time country hall
In an old time country hall
In an old time country hall
