Slim Dusty - Leaving Only Dust lyrics
rate me<b>Leaving Only Dust</b> by <i>Slim Dusty</i><br />Unsaddle my horse turn him out to feed, this stock camp life is all I need
A corned beef stew from a musters cook, born with a ready to fight ya look
When you’re musterin’ cattle and battlin’ flies, through country where those dead men lie
Not a bad life when you boil it down, sure it beats that atmosphere in town
Sun has burned you black out in the scrub, and visions relate to the Birdsville pub
Where stockmen drovers and jackaroos, tell bloody lies and stretch the news
Watchin’ bullocks on the camp at night, yang yang horses mean and tight
Chuck steak and onions billy can tea, brings more of the bushman out of me
Yodel/Guitar solo
The smell of leather that gidgee tang, curlews screamed as the horse bells rang
There’s nothin’ like takin’ on a drovin’ trip, or comfort and swing of a Scobie whip
When mobs of years start to break you down, how often those memories call around
They never dim with age corrode or rust, so I’ll fade from sight leavin’ only dust
So I’ll fade from sight leavin’ only dust
Yodel
