Slim Dusty Singer From Down Under
I'm a singer from down under and it isn't any wonder
That I like a can or two of tooheys old
I've sung my way about, from the bush to the opera
house
And tomorrow’s just another town to show
Bush ballads are my life oh I sing ’em all the time
Stories of our people and our land
Spent a lot of time at home, cause I was country born
And it's helped me such a lot to understand
Hey I'm a singer from down under on the move
Oh I like the life I'm livin’ given under skies of blue
May the Southern Cross in freedom ever shine
My song is for Australia every time
[Instrumental]
I was never really lazy, but the neighbours thought me
crazy
Cause I dreamed about a life of travellin’ round
A dream that made me move, seemed the natural thing to
do
So at twenty one I finally left the land
Some said ‘twas rather risky but I married in the
fifties
And in 1954 we hit the road
We went out for a 3 month trial, but that cagin’
country mile
Has forever since just kept us on the go
Hey I'm a singer from down under on the move
Oh I like the life I'm livin’ given under skies of blue
May the Southern Cross in freedom ever shine
My song is for Australia every time, my friends
My song is for Australia every time.
