[ti:Shanty On The Rise] [ar:Slim Dusty] [al:Ringer From The Top End] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Shanty On The Rise - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提) [00:07.58]When the caravans of wool teams climbed the ranges from [00:11.26]The west [00:12.06] [00:12.61]On a spur among the mountains stood 'the bullock drivers' [00:16.66]Rest' [00:17.87]It was built of bark and saplings and was rather [00:21.20]Rough inside [00:23.01]But 'twas good enough for bushmen in the careless days [00:26.72]That died [00:27.99]Just a quiet little shanty kept by 'something in disguise' [00:33.01]As the bushmen called the landlord of the shanty on [00:36.69]The rise [00:37.92] [00:39.42]Was the bullock driver's haven when his team was on [00:43.18]The road [00:44.46]And the waggon wheels were groaning as they ploughed beneath [00:48.14]The load [00:49.47]And I mind how weary teamsters struggled on while it [00:53.24]Was light [00:54.07] [00:54.57]Just to camp within a cooey of the shanty for [00:58.39]The night [00:59.25] [00:59.84]And I think the very bullocks raised their heads and [01:03.19]Fixed their eyes [01:04.82]On the candle in the window of the shanty on [01:08.53]The rise [01:09.70] [01:11.20]And the bullock bells were clanking from the marshes on [01:14.85]The flats [01:16.16]As we hurried to the shanty where we hung our [01:19.60]Dripping hats [01:21.01] [01:22.21]And we took a drop of something that was brought [01:25.84]At our desire [01:27.39]As we stood with steaming moleskins in the kitchen by [01:31.12]The fire [01:32.40]Oh it roared upon a fireplace of the good old [01:35.84]Fashioned size [01:37.57]When the rain came down the chimney of the shanty [01:40.80]On the rise [01:42.22] [01:50.07]They got up a christmas party in the shanty long [01:53.70]Ago [01:54.46] [01:54.97]While I camped with Jimmy now lett on the river [01:58.44]Bank below [01:59.58] [02:00.17]Poor old Jimy was in his glory they'd elected him [02:04.10]M C [02:05.16]For there wasn't such another raving lunatic as he [02:10.16]Mr Nowlett Mr Daste shouted something in disguise [02:15.19]As we walked into the parlour of the shanty on [02:18.79]The rise [02:19.87] [02:21.49]Jimmy came to me and whispered and I muttered 'go [02:25.25]Along [02:26.30]But he shouted Mr Dasty will oblige us with a [02:30.32]Song [02:31.39]And at first I said I wouldn't and I shammed [02:34.78]A little too [02:36.39]Till the girls began to whisper 'we're all waiting now [02:40.10]For you' [02:41.58]So I sang a song of something 'bout the love [02:44.60]That never dies [02:46.38]And the core or shook the rafters of the shanty on the [02:50.36]Rise [02:51.27] [02:52.77]Jimmy burst his concertina and the bullock drivers went [02:57.64]For the corpse of Joe the fiddler who was sleeping [03:00.97]In his tent [03:02.16] [03:03.57]Joe was tired and had lumbago and he wouldn't come [03:07.55]He said [03:08.86]But the case was very urgent so they pulled him [03:12.28]Out of bed [03:13.78]And they fetched him for the bushmen knew that something [03:17.17]In disguise [03:18.85]Had a cure for Joe's lumbago in the shanty on [03:22.51]The rise [03:23.66] [03:31.47]I suppose the shanty vanished from the ranges long ago [03:35.95] [03:36.51]And the girls are mostly married to the chaps I [03:39.93]Used to know [03:41.33]My old chums are in the distance some have crossed [03:44.61]The border line [03:46.62]But in fancy still their glasses chink against the rim [03:50.15]Of mine [03:51.37]And upon the very centre of the greenest spot that [03:55.29]Lies [03:56.37]In my fondest recollection stands the shanty on the rise [04:01.24] [04:02.74]In my fondest recollection stands the shanty on the rise
