Slim Dusty Cobb & Co. Twitch
I'd like to sing a little song of praise
Of the Cobb & Co Twitch
And the countless ways,
It's put to use by poor and rich,
So here's to the grand old Cobb & Co Twitch.
Don’t ask me how it got it’s name,
They were using it long before Cobb & Co came.
I believe ol' Noah used a file and a twitch
And patched up his Ark with the Cobb & Co Twitch.
You can build a shed or a yard or a gate
And you don't need bolts or nails or mates
Just eight gauge wire and a barded twitch
And you're in business with the Cobb & Co Twitch.
Or if your car or your truck break down on the track
And you're miles from a town in the far outback
You’d be surprised what a man can fix,
In a time like that with a Cobb & Co Twitch.
You can patch up a table or a bed or a chair
A veranda post or a broken stair,
Why! Use a saddle cloth and a Coolabah twitch
And set a ringers leg with the Cobb & Co Twitch.
You can mend broken harness or the handle of a leg,
Or a leaky ol' tank or a stove that’s cracked.
Why I even heard a tale about a wicked ol' witch,
Who mended her broom with the Cobb & Co Twitch.
Well that’s just a few of the countless ways,
We use the old twitch from day to day.
So whatever you're repairing it don’t matter which,
Just remember this song of the Cobb & Co Twitch.
Well now you've heard my little song of praise,
Of the Cobb & Co Twitch and the countless ways,
It's put to use by poor and rich,
So here's to the grand old Cobb & Co Twitch.
