slim dusty - australia is his name lyrics
on the battlefields across the sea
one wet and dismal morn
a heritage was carved in blood
and the fighting man was born
on the rugged slopes of gallipoli
where the digger earned his name
and the admiration of the turk:
australia is his name.
with a careless grin across his lips,
and a rifle in his hand,
he’s fought his way throughout the years
in jungle or in sand;
and proudly wearing on his head
the hat, the award of fame
in the blooded test of courage raw:
australia is his name.
[instrumental]
he’s a fighting man of world renown
and a cobber of the best
just like his dad did once before
he’s p-ssed in every test.
now once again the drums of war
have found him just the same
with the side turned up on his old hat:
australia is his name.
there’s a mother who sits at home and waits
in a thousand different towns
but down inside she’s full of pride:
her boy won’t let her down.
for he was born a digger breed
and he’ll carry on the name
in the blooded test of carry-draw:
australia is his name.
on the battlefields across the sea
one wet and dismal morn
a heritage was carved in blood
and the fighting man was born
on the rugged slopes of gallipoli
where the digger earned his name
and the admiration of the turk:
australia is his name.
and the admiration of the turk:
australia is his name.
