There Lies A Workhorse (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty

The cab is in shambles the bearings are shot

The tires are more than well worn

The trailers are buckled the skid plates are bent

All tarps are discoloured and torn

The are no dogs and chains just a bag of old ropes

All knotted to short and to frayed

And it looks like the outfit has never been washed

Since the day when the gear was first made

There are four broken side lights a broken tool box

The mud flaps are gone from the rear

The floor boards are missing the u bolts are loose

Not at all what you call first class gear

From the mud and the dust inches deep on the wheel

I can see hard work written thereon

One look underneath at that oil splattered sump

And I know every oil seal has gone

How many hundreds of tons has it hauled

And how many roads does it know

This old ring one time was some truck jockeys joy

Ah but that was a long time ago

It's lies here a wreck and they rob it for spares

It will soon be devoured by rust

Or some bulldozer driver will bury it deep

In its shroud of mud grease bulldust

The cab is in shambles the bearings are shot

The tires are more than well worn

The trailers are buckled the skid plates are bent

All tarps are discoloured and torn
