[ti:Cattlemen From The High Plains (1987 Digital Remaster)] [ar:Slim Dusty] [al:Slim Dusty Sings Joy McKean] [offset:0] [00:00.70]Cattlemen From The High Plains - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提) [00:13.86]You may talk of the ringer from Queensland, [00:17.71]The big shearing gun from the west, [00:21.14]They are men who have proven their value, [00:25.32]Whenever they’re put to the test, [00:28.65]But if you ever look to the mountains, [00:32.58]And the south where it snows and it rains, [00:36.38]Have you thought of the men from the Snowy, [00:40.01]And the cattlemen from the high plains. [00:44.07]From the high plains away above Dargo [00:47.78]In the alps where the snow daisy grows. [00:51.32]Where the wild mountain herds are grazin’ [00:55.63]Beneath the shadow of mountains of snow, [00:58.98]Where the cattlemen searched every cranny, [01:02.78]When they muster at each summer’s end, [01:06.43]In their rain batter hats and their oil skins, [01:10.28]From the high plains, come real cattlemen, [01:13.95]They’re a part of Australia’s hist’ry, [01:18.13]Their heritage all be the same, [01:21.62]If nobody cares what is happn’nin’, [01:25.80]To the cattlemen from the high plains. [01:27.51] [01:34.80]After one fifty years they can take it, [01:38.77]All the hardship the mountains can give, [01:42.47]They hand onto each generation, [01:46.28]Their caring, their live and let live, [01:50.09]All the steep mountain tracks and the gullies, [01:53.84]Which one knows like the palm of his hand, [01:57.28]There’s no room here for too many new chumps [02:00.96]In the mountain cattleman’s land. [02:04.03] [02:05.12]So I guess that you’ll never believe me, [02:08.40]When you hear what they’re plannin’ to do, [02:12.11]Down in town, mate they’re writin’ the law now, [02:15.89]That the man from the high plains must go, [02:19.81]Take his herds from the mountains and ridges, [02:23.35]Leave the land where his forefathers reigned, [02:27.25]With the sweep of the pen they want to write out, [02:30.78]The cattlemen from the high plains, [02:34.73]And we lose a part of our hist’ry, [02:38.47]Of our land built through struggle and strain, [02:42.20]A bit more of our freedom goes with them, [02:46.10]The cattlemen from the high plains, [02:49.64]Just a bit more freedom goes with them, [02:53.41]The cattlemen from the high plains.
