Somewhere Up In Queensland (1996 Remaster) - Slim Dusty |
| [00:04.23] |
Now Billy was a blacksmith in the year of forty two |
| [00:08.79] |
He went right out of business there was no horses to shoe |
| [00:13.47] |
He packed his few belongings when the leaves began to fall |
| [00:18.11] |
He was going up to Queensland just to anyplace at all |
| [00:24.29] |
He had a horse and sulky and an old blue heeler dog |
| [00:29.06] |
They headed ever northward with a steady old jig jog |
| [00:33.93] |
They camped beside the river 'neath the willows green and tall |
| [00:38.61] |
As they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all |
| [00:44.56] |
One day as they were driving the hours dragged along |
| [00:49.57] |
He joined the friendly bush birds in qusen mountain song |
| [00:54.30] |
He overtook a stranger who had his swag and all |
| [00:58.80] |
And he was tramping up to Queensland just to anyplace at all |
| [01:04.83] |
Now Billy said to the stranger would you like to take a ride |
| [01:09.61] |
You can hop up in the sulky if it won't hurt yer pride |
| [01:14.46] |
The stranger thanked him kindly and climbed into the seat |
| [01:19.00] |
Where they talked about their livelihood and the fellers that you meet |
| [01:31.20] |
The stranger said I'm Jimmy and I was a shearer's mate |
| [01:35.80] |
Oh but the big contractors they say I'm out of date |
| [01:40.44] |
I kind of got discouraged so I rolled my swag and all |
| [01:45.17] |
And I'm I headin' up to Queensland just to anyplace at all |
| [01:51.31] |
The two became good cobbers as the weeks they rolled around |
| [01:55.98] |
They went over the border and through the darling downs |
| [02:00.62] |
They camped beside the river of a town I can't recall |
| [02:05.34] |
But it was somewhere up in Queensland anyplace at all |
| [02:11.37] |
Next morning they were waken with horses all around |
| [02:16.10] |
They saw the same old hitching rails in this old outback town |
| [02:20.86] |
Then Billy said to Jimmy in his old familiar drawl |
| [02:25.70] |
I think we'll settle down here good as any place at all |
| [02:31.54] |
They soon rented a stable and a shed without a floor |
| [02:36.57] |
Jimmy fixed a sign up and he nailed it on the door |
| [02:41.08] |
It read Blacksmith and shoein' done no job too big or small |
| [02:45.64] |
And it was somewhere up in Queensland at anyplace at all |
| [02:57.63] |
They had a boomin' business and stayed that way for years |
| [03:02.50] |
Billy did the shoein' while jimmy dressed the shears |
| [03:07.10] |
And of you chance to meet them this story they'll recall |
| [03:11.64] |
When they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all |
| [03:17.58] |
When they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all |
| [03:23.35] |
When they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all |
