Only The Two Of Us Here(1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty

作曲：Jacques Prévert/Henry Crolla

I camped one night in an empty hut

On the side of a lonely hill

I didn't go much on empty huts

But the night was awful chill

So I boiled me billy and had me tea

And made sure that the door was shut

Then I went to sleep in the empty bunk

By the wall of the old slab shed

Now it must have been in the middle of the night

When I was feeling cosy and warm

I woke and there at the foot of my bunk

I see a horrible ghostly form

It seemed in shape to be half an ape

With a head like a chimpanzee

And I wondered what it was doing there

And what did it want with me

You may say if you please that I had DTs

Or call me a crimson liar

But I wish you had seen it as plain as me

With it's eyes like coals of fire

Then it gave a groan such a horrible moan

That my blood run cold with fear

And there's only the two of us here

It said there's only the two of us here

I kept one eye on the old hut door

And one on the awful brute

For I only wanted to dress myself

And get to the door and scoot

But I couldn't find where I'd left me boots

So I hadn't a chance to clear

And there's only the two of us here

It said there's only the two of us here

I hadn't a thing to defend myself

Couldn't find a stick nor a stone

And there's only the two of here

It said again with a horrible moan

I thought I'd better make some reply

For I thought that the end was near

I said Tarzan old man when I find my boots

By hell there'll only be one of us here

Well I get my hands on me number tens

And out through the door I scoots

And I lit the whole of the ridges up

With the sparks from me Blucher boots

So I've never slept in a hut since then

And I tremble and shake with fear

When I think of the horrible brute that moaned

There's only the two of us here
