Slim Dusty - Old Time Country Halls lyrics
As I pick up my guitar to sing another song I hear the walls of this old hall - you've done this thing too long You know you've been around for years, I guess you've shown us all I talk like this when I reminisce with an old time country hall I joined a tent show as a kid with a dream and an old guitar The Silvers All-Star Cavalcade and Dandy was the star He taught me lots about the game, today I understand He was a great magician, Dandy was a fine old man I'm a howlin' cattle-hand crooner I'm an old time dinosaur Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring In an old time country hall, that's right I've been on the road for thirty years but Dandy could double that And you'll find his faded poster still in some hall way out back I like to go back stage and dream sometimes and just recall The shows I've had, the good and bad, shared with these country halls Take the old Town Hall Kalgoorlie with it's old time charm and grace And your mounting million complexes never will replace All glass and steal and concrete, some large and some too small So let me sing where the rafters ring in an old time country hall, hey We showed last night in the school of arts and the town was real run-down You'll find so many towns like that today as you move around Yeah, the wind of change is blowin' up such an economic low The old time shows we used to know will soon be off the road I'm a howlin' cattle-hand crooner I'm an old time dinosaur Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring In an old time country hall In an old time country hall In an old time country hall |
