slim dusty - middleton's rouseabout lyrics
tall and freckled and sandy,
face of a country lout;
this was the picture of andy,
middleton’s rouseabout.
type of a coming nation,
in the land of cattle and sheep,
he worked on middleton’s station,
for a pound a week and his keep.
on middleton’s wide dominions
plied the stockwhip and shears;
had he er hadn’t any opinions,
had he hadn’t any ideas’.
swiftly the years went over,
and liquor and drought prevailed;
and middleton, he went as a drover, you know,
after his station had failed.
instrumental
(whoa whoa whoa)
type of a careless nation,
men who are soon played out,
middleton was: and so his station
bought by the rouseabout.
now flourishing beard and sandy,
he’s tall, he’s robust and stout;
yes this is the picture of andy, you know,
middleton’s rouseabout.
and now on his own dominions
he works with his overseers;
and he still hasn’t any opinions,
he hasn’t any ideas.
