Mechanised Swaggie - Slim Dusty

作曲：Joy Mckean

I'm a mechanised swaggie in a Kenworth T９５０

I haul big freight across the paddock to Perth

Me an' my girl share the wheel and the berth

We can make it in ４８ hours from Sydney

I used to like hearing my

Dad tell of the depression

Lookin' for work and getting' knocked back

Shouldered his swag and took to the track

Remembers each camp and

Every good cook on the stations

The times have changed old timer

The years have passed you by

Some things never alter at all

Let me tell you why

The dusty roads you tramped are now all highways

The road camp now a sleeper camp

The billy of tea a quick coffee we drank

I live on the road

I'm the mechanised swaggie of this day

let's go now)

Yeah things have changed old timer

And yet they're still the same

The swaggies old tradition lives on

In the truckin' game

Cause I'm a mechanised swaggie

In a Kenworth T９５０

Checkin' the gauges and the axel weights

Listening to the sound of the Jacob's brake

We live on the road we're the mechanised

Swaggies of this day

Hey

I'm a mechanised swaggie in a Kenworth T９５０

I haul big freight across the paddock to Perth

Me an' my girl share the wheel and the berth

We live on the road we're the mechanised

Swaggies of this day

Hey

And put the Jacob's brake on now
