I Must Have Good Terbaccy When I Smoke (2004 - Remaster) - Slim Dusty

Written by：Slim Dusty

I was talking to a swaggy yesterday

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 like to have good terbaccy when I smoke

Now I tell 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

I've got no use for money in my life

You strive and struggle till it gets you down

I tramp until I lag and then I'll drop my swag

And I'll sit and smoke and watch the world go round

When finally I reach the golden gates

They say St Peter he's a decent bloke

If I'm taken with the blessed this will be my last

Request

I must have good terbaccy when I smoke

Yes I was talking to that swaggy yesterday

And what he told me I'll remember clear

Trampin' out there with the breeze happy as the birds

And bees

And I reckon that he has the right idea
