The Desert Lair(Remastered 2017) - Slim Dusty

作词：Stan Coster

作曲：Slim Dusty/Stan Coster

I was born way out in a blazin' drought on

A cattle drovin' trip

I was raised on beef and I cut my teeth

On the handle of a whip

Oh I was never named I was never tamed I'm

As wild as a brumby mare

The desert land I roam the desert land's my home

And I'm known as the desert lair

I'm long and lean from the desert land

I was taught to track by a myall black in

The channel country wild

I could hold the lead of a wild stampede when

I should have been a child

Oh I was never named I was never tamed I'm

As rough as prickly pear

The desert land I roam the desert land's my home

And I'm known as the desert lair

I'm long and lean from the desert land

Now I never bathe and I never shave I'm as

Wild as the land that I roam

I just don't fit in with my civilized kin I

Belong in my desert home

Oh I was never named I was never tamed and

I never grieve or care

The desert land I roam the desert land's my home

And I'm known as the desert lair

I'm long and lean from the desert land

Long and lean from the desert land

Long and lean from the desert land
