slim dusty - by a fire of gidgee coal lyrics

by a warm electric heater and a softly padded chair
in a loungeroom brightly lighted by a glowing chandelier
since my early days of drovin’ the years have taken toll
but i somehow miss my swag wrap by a fire of gidgee coal
when i wake from sleep each morning and i ring the bedside bell
the maid brings in my breakfast and she fills my pipe as well
there are cakes and sweetened coffee on a tray of sparkling gold
but i miss black tea and damper by a fire of gidgee coal
i am driven’ out each evening by a chauffer spruce and neat
through the flowered parks and gardens and the crowded city streets
but i drift back through the ages while the big car softly rolls
to a stock route and a wagonette and a fire of gidgee coal
i attend all social parties in the rich parts of the town
drinking wine from fancy gl-sses as the waiters go their rounds
but i’d rather share a bottle with those drovin’ mates of old
in a pair of dusty moleskins by a fire of gidgee coal
in a pair of dusty moleskins by a fire of gidgee coal
