Colin Buchanan - Uncle Viv текст песни

Текст песни Uncle Viv - Colin Buchanan



Just what got me in I'm not quite sure
The hat with the Legacy badges
Or the tales about the war?
But when the stories started
I wanted to hear more
He spent some time in the Northern Territory
Proud of his time as a young bloke
Serving actively
The Coopers ale was rationed
But the jungle juice was free
And he was born in the depression
He grew up hungry
And times were hard
And all his memories he'll re-live
When you're chewin' the fat with Uncle Viv
Childhood days were lean and things were tough
Porridge made from grinding wheat
Never quite enough
And he chuckles now when the young ones
Say that things are getting rough .
And he was born in the depression
He grew up hungry
And times were hard
And all his memories he'll re-live
When you're chewin' the fat with Uncle Viv
Lightning Ridge was home 'til '72
Mum couldn't run the farm alone
So his mining days were through
But the treasures in his tobacco tin
He'll gladly show to you
And he was born in the depression
He grew up hungry
And times were hard
And all his memories he'll re-live
When you're chewin' the fat with Uncle Viv
Now his curly hair is long and mostly grey
And his grin is nearly toothless
And his joints have had their day
But Viv has got a swag of yarns
He'll gladly throw your way .
And he was born in the depression
He grew up hungry
And times were hard
And all his memories he'll re-live
When you're chewin' the fat with Uncle Viv
