Singer From Down Under - Slim Dusty

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 tomorrows 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

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.
