A Prouder Man Than You - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

Written by：Slim Dusty/Henry Lawson

If you fancy that your people came of better stock

Than mine

If you hint that higher breeding by a word or

By a sign

If you're proud because of fortune or the clever things

You do

Then I'll play no second fiddle I'm a prouder man than

You

If you think that your profession has the more gentility

And that you are condescending to be seen along with

Me

If you notice that I'm shabby while your clothes are

Spruce and new

You have only got to hint it I'm a prouder

Man than you

If you have a swell companion when you see me

On the street

And you think that I'm too common for your toney

Friend to meet

So that I thow passing closely fail to come within

Your view

Then be blind to me for ever I'm a prouder

Man than you

If your character be blameless if your outward past be

Clean

While 'tis known my antecedents are not what they should

Have been

Do not risk contamination save your name whate'er you do

'Birds o' feather fly together' I'm a prouder bird than

You

If you fancy that your people came of better stock

Than mine

If you hint that higher breeding by a word or

By a sign

If you're proud because of fortune or the clever things

You do

Then I'll play no second fiddle I'm a prouder man

Than you

If you think that your profession has the more gentility

And that you are condescending to be seen along with

Me

If you notice that I'm shabby while your clothes are

Spruce and new

You have only got to hint it I'm a prouder

Man than you
