歌曲名 Answer To The Old Rusty Bell (1996 Digital Remaster)

歌手名 Slim Dusty

You've heard about the rusty bell

That Boomer used to ring

You've heard about old Johnny

And the loads he used to bring

But they tell me now

That Boomer's bell was a Condamine he wore

And not the one we painted up

And wrote about before

And someone said the brand was wrong

And the bell belonged to bright

If I live to be a hundred

I would still say I was right

The rusty bell keeps ringing

You can hear it every day

It echos round the ranges

And it's grand the people say

Old Sango keeps on joggin'

While Old Smoke is by his side

The old man riding homeward

They were his joy and pride

Old Smoker was half dingo

Sango had racing blood

They were faithful to Old Johnny

Through the heat and rain and mud

But now they're just a memory

So very dear to me

And the rusty bell is Boomer's

And forever it will be

We've watched old Johnny ride away

Through misty fading years

While Boomer's bell is ringing

Just like music to our ears

But now they're just a memory

So very dear to me

And the rusty bell is Boomer's

And forever it will be

The gentle clip of Sango's hooves

And Smoker jogs along

And the tinkle

Of the bullock bell rings finish to my song

And the tinkle

Of the bullock bell rings finish to my song
