slim dusty - my people lyrics
why do i sit up late at night,
putting my soul and all my might
into the many songs i write
for our country people ?
australia’s outback people.
why do i sit for hours in here,
what made a derelect case of beer,
or a fallen woman’s hopes and fears?
because they are our people.
australia’s busy people.
m-m, m-m, m-m
why do i listen to the old men lie,
how men were better in days gone by ?
a grievous end, and here is why,
i feel for those old people.
australia’s old time people.
how do i know what the young folks feel,
blindly reaching out to feel
something solid, something real
to lead australian people ?
proud australian people.
m-m, m-m, m-m
why do folk with coloured skin
open their doors, invite me in ?
‘cause bungee’s people and i are kin,
he knows i know his people.
those real australian people.
why do i sit up late at night,
putting my soul and all my might
into the many songs i write ?
because i love my people.
australia’s working people.
m-m, m-m, m-m, m-m, m-m….
