slim dusty - andy's return lyrics
with pannikins all rusty, and billy burnt and black,
and clothes all torn and dusty, that scarcely hide his
back;
with sun-cracked saddle-leather, and knotted greenhide
rein,
his face burnt brown with weather, our andy’s home
again!
his unkempt hair is faded with sleeping in the wet,
he’s looking old and jaded; but he is hearty yet.
with eyes sunk in their sockets but merry as of yore;
with big cheques in his pockets, hey! our andy’s home
once more!
[instrumental]
old uncle’s bright and cheerful; he wears a smiling
face;
and aunty’s never tearful now andy’s round the place.
blucher barks for gladness; he broke his rusty chain,
and leapt in joyous madness when andy came again.
his toil is nearly over; he’ll soon enjoy his gains.
no more he’ll be a drover, across the lonely plains.
she oaks stand in ribbons, parked on the hostile rain,
and home by some cool river, he makes his build again.
[instrumental]
yeah, the pannikins all rusty, and billy burnt and
black,
and clothes all torn and dusty, that scarcely hide his
back;
from where the skies hang lazy on many a northern
plain,
from regions dim and hazy, hey! our andy’s home again!
