slim dusty - cobb & co. twitch lyrics
i’d like to sing a little song of praise
of the cobb & co twitch
and the countless ways,
it’s put to use by poor and rich,
so here’s to the grand old cobb & co twitch.
don’t ask me how it got it’s name,
they were using it long before cobb & co came.
i believe ol’ noah used a file and a twitch
and patched up his ark with the cobb & co twitch.
you can build a shed or a yard or a gate
and you don’t need bolts or nails or mates
just eight gauge wire and a barded twitch
and you’re in business with the cobb & co twitch.
or if your car or your truck break down on the track
and you’re miles from a town in the far outback
you’d be surprised what a man can fix,
in a time like that with a cobb & co twitch.
you can patch up a table or a bed or a chair
a veranda post or a broken stair,
why! use a saddle cloth and a coolabah twitch
and set a ringers leg with the cobb & co twitch.
you can mend broken harness or the handle of a leg,
or a leaky ol’ tank or a stove that’s cracked.
why i even heard a tale about a wicked ol’ witch,
who mended her broom with the cobb & co twitch.
well that’s just a few of the countless ways,
we use the old twitch from day to day.
so whatever you’re repairing it don’t matter which,
just remember this song of the cobb & co twitch.
well now you’ve heard my little song of praise,
of the cobb & co twitch and the countless ways,
it’s put to use by poor and rich,
so here’s to the grand old cobb & co twitch.
here’s to the grand old cobb & co twitch
