The Ballad Of Henry Lawson (1993 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty Theres an Aussie we all know where the western breezes blow From north to south he's known far and wide Henry Lawson was his name but he never rose to fame Until he crossed beyond the great divide In a little place called Grenfell when the gold was flowing free And the miners and their money came went In 1867 when the town was on the spree Henry Lawson he was born there in a tent He grew into a lanky lad when Gulgong was his home His mind was bright he had those itchy feet He wrote a string of verses of the days he used to roam From dusty track outback to city streets He drifted with the drovers across the western plains And he waltzed Matilda down the Lachlan side From the Barcoo to the Murray in droughts and flooding rains Oh the bush was both his mother and his pride He passed by plain and mountain and by burning desert sand By shearing shed and lonely cattle camp And when the beer was flowing he was there to lend a hand With the mates that share his life upon the tramp He sang of wild bush brumbies and the teamsters and their teams Of outer tracks that only Bushmen know He saw the mail coach coming by plains and mountain streams And he wrote about the lights of Cobb & Co He told of lonely men outback and women of the west Of folk that fought to live in factory towns But the swaggies of the old bush school were the ones he knew the best Where the waters of the Darling wander down He boiled his billy back of Bourke and starved in City Park He penned his poems in a shaky scrawl But of all the old bush poets who have passed and left their mark Henry Lawson was the greatest of them all Theres an Aussie we all know where the western breezes blow From north to south hes known far and wide Henry Lawson was his name but he never rose to fame Until he crossed beyond the great divide Until he crossed beyond the great divide
