slim dusty - i must have good terbaccy when i smoke lyrics

Loading...

i was talking to a swaggy yesterday
his beard was long his hair was silver grey
his dress was out of style but he wore a friendly smile
and here is what the old man had to say

“you may think me most unusual my boy
when i tell you straight that i am stony broke
i tramp from year to year and i’ll drink all kinds of
beer
but i like to have good ‘baccy when i smoke”

now i’ll show you this here old terbacco tin
the paint is gone the sides are dinted in
but it’s opened many a bottle in its wild and chequered
life
and to me it has always been a friend

[yodel]

i one time had a wife and everything
but a stranger came and soon we were apart
so i left my friends and home and i hit the road to
roam
but nicotine has mended my old heart

i’ve got no use for money in my life
you strive and struggle till it gets you down
i tramp until i lag and then i’ll drop my swag
and i’ll sit and smoke and watch the world go round

when finally i reach the golden gates
they say st peter he’s a decent bloke
if i’m taken with the blessed this will be my last
request
i must have good terbaccy when i smoke

yes i was talking to that swaggy yesterday
and what he told me i’ll remember clear
trampin’ out there with the breeze happy as the birds
and bees
and i reckon that he has the right idea.

[yodel]
