A Letter From Down Under Lyrics - Artist : Slim Dusty
There's an Aussie boy in Texas
And tonight he's feeling blue There's a letter that he showed me And I'd like to read it to you It's a letter from Down-Under From a dad who tries to say All the things he feels on paper To a loved son far away Dear Son, back home it's springtime And we're finished with the plow A little rain'd flood the lot Should bring the wheat through now You always loved the wattle Well now it's out in bloom Guess son, that you'd be homesick If I could send you its perfume Old gramps is getting feeble now And his days are nearly done He'd like to see you before he goes So, how about it, son I met Mary at the sliprails the other day And we yarned for quite a while She's growing mighty pretty son With a warm and friendly smile They say the neighbours son hangs round That he's always at her place But I know the way she spoke of you He just isn't in the race Last night some friends came over And they stayed for quite a while We sang all the old bush ballads In the old familiar style I guess you've heard all about the oil strike Well I don't mean much out here 'Cause when a man is thirsty son It can't take the place of beer But somehow, son, without you This old place just ain't the same And it hurts to see your mother's face At the mention of your name Well it's getting late, I'd better close There's a few jobs to be done Yes your old dad just wants to add Be nice to see you son |
