Brigalow Bill(Remastered 2017) - Slim Dusty

作词：Stan Coster

作曲：Slim Dusty/Stan Coster

To an old county town long ago

Just as the evening sun went below

Entered the hotel bar on the hill

Stranger who called himself Brigalow Bill

Called for a glass of ale and a smoke

Didn't have much to say hardly spoke

Nothing about his past did he tell

Twenty five years ago Brigalow Bill

Fashion of dress and style of swag roll

Even the way he walked plainly told

Even the slightest glance would reveal

City man breed and born Brigalow Bill

Over the years he sank further down

He was the derelict drunk of the town

Everyone laughed and teased him at will

Topic of all their jokes Brigalow Bill

Anyone in the town on a spree

Always had Brigalow Bill come to me

Even in drink his tongue would be still

Never spoke of his past Brigalow Bill

Then to the town a rodeo came

One of the brahma bulls broke i'ts chain

Everyone left the streets running wild

Nobody saw a small wondering child

Suddenly came a loud savage roar

Out in the street they all looked and saw

Stopped with a gun the beast lay there still

Over the form of poor Brigalow Bill

Brigalow Bill's address in his grave

Time for the unknown boy that he saved

Nothing was known of his past until

After the death of poor Brigalow Bill

Photograph of his wife and a note

Telling of her new love so she wrote

Nothing was known of his past until

After the death of poor Brigalow Bill

Carried it to his grave Brigalow Bill
