Abalinga Mail - Slim Dusty

作曲：John Parkes

My name is Bluey Simpson

Well how yer goin' mate

I've been conductor on this train since １９２８

I hope you're in no hurry sport sit down and settle back

They call the abalinga

Mail the snail of the outback

Oh the abalinga mail my oath she's slow

And I should be the one to know

It's no good you goin' crook

I tell you son

'Cause if you're really in a hurry

Then you better get out an' run

We once took on ２００ lambs only ８ weeks old

They were headed clear across

The state to the place

Where they'd been sold

That trip was takin' so damn long

I didn't think we'd rear 'em

Ah we had to stop ３ flamin'

Times and take 'em off and shear 'em

Two newly

Weds got only on you in the early part of june

They were headed for the

Seaside for a happy honeymoon

Now I wouldn't say that trip was slow but

I think it was no use

Well by the time we reached the

Coast their divorce had just come through

Oh the abalinga mail my oath she's slow

And I should be the one to know

It's no good to go and crook

I tell you son

'Cause if you're really in a hurry

Then you better get out an' run

We made the outback with

Some Sidny papers late last year

And the people on the

Cattle stations gave a mighty cheer

They longed to read the

Latest news from the great big world outside

But they got an dreadful

Shock to learn that pharlap he had died

Oh

Oh the abalinga mail my oath she's slow

And I should be the one to know

It's no good you goin' crook

I tell you son

'Cause if you're really in a hurry

Then you better get out and run

And if you're really in a hurry

Then you better get out an' run
