Presenting a Slim Dusty song, with the Q touch.

As I pick up my guitar to sing another song
I hear the walls of this old hall
you've done this thing too long

You know you've been around for years,
I guess you've shown us all
I talk like this when I reminisce
with an old time country hall

I joined a tent show as a kid
with a dream and an old guitar
The Silvers All-Star Cavalcade
and Dandy was the star

He taught me lots about the game,
today I understand
He was a great magician,
Dandy was a fine old man

I'm a howlin' cattle-hand crooner
I'm an old time dinosaur
Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring
In an old time country hall,

that's right, take it away boys

I've been on the road for 50 years
but Dandy could equal that
And you'll find his faded poster still
in some hall way out back

I like to go back stage and dream
sometimes I just recall
The shows I've had, the good and bad,
shared with these country halls

Take the old Town Hall Kalgoorlie
with it's old time charm and grace
And your mounting million complexes
never will replace

All glass and steal and concrete,
some large and some too small
So let me sing where the rafters ring
in an old time country hall,

hey

We showed last night in the school
of arts and the town was real run-down
You'll find so many towns
like that today as you move around

Yeah, the wind of change is blowin'
up such an economic low
The old time shows we used to know
will soon be off the road

I'm a howlin' cattle-hand crooner
I'm an old time dinosaur
Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring
In an old time country hall

In an old time country hall

In an old time country hall
