I Must Have Good Terbaccy When I Smoke - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

Written by：Slim Dusty

I was talking to a swaggy yesterday

Oh his beard was long his hair was silver grey

His dress

Was out of style

But he wore a friendly smile

And here is what the old man had to say

You may think me most unusual my boy

When I tell you straight that I am stoney broke

I tramp from year to year

And I'll drink

All kinds of beer

But I must have good

Tobaccy when I smoke

Now I show you this here old tobaccy tin

And the paint is gone the sides are dented in

And it's opened many a bottle

In it's wild and chequered life

And to me it has always been a friend

I one time

Had wife

And everything

But a strange came and soon we were apart

So I left my friends and home

And I hit the road to Roam

But nicotine has mended my old heart

Now when finally they reach the golden gate

They say Saint Peter he's a decent bloke

If I'm taken with the blessed

This will be my last request

Oh I liked to have good baccy when I smoke

Yes I was talking to that swaggy yesterday

And what he told me I'll remember clear

Tramping out there with the breeze

Happy as the birds and bees

And I reckon

That he has the right idea

Oh de le la ehe oh oh

Oh de le la ehe oh oh

Oh de le la ehe

Oh ehe

Oh de le la oh ehe
