Outback verse 'n' unlikely tales

"Paddle Steamers" When it all began"

From Outback verse 'n' unlikely tales

The Man They Called Australia

Who is this man they called Australia
You dont think i'me gonna tell-
Cant help if ya mind fails ya!
...
He was round the traps awhile
Fifty years and goin on
Now he's walked that last golden mile
This country singer "has gone"
...
His rain tumbled down in July
Maybe your memory is rusty
You could have a good reason why
This man was the best - Slim Dusty
...
Remember "The saddle is his throne"
That was a real Aussie song
Now "he is up there" but not alone
He has Banjo and Henry along
...
He would'nt want your sorrow
And most surely not your tears
Instead just ask to be thought of
Thru out the coming years.
