Songtexte By A Fire Of Gidgee Coal - Slim Dusty
By
a
warm
electric
heater
and
a
softly
padded
chair
In
a
lounge
room
brightly
lighted
by
a
glowing
chandelier
Since
my
early
days
of
drovin'
the
years
have
taken
toll
But
I
somehow
miss
my
swag
wrap
by
a
fire
of
Gidgee
coal
When
I
wake
from
sleep
each
morning
and
I
ring
the
bedside
bell
The
maid
brings
in
my
breakfast
and
she
fills
my
pipe
as
well
There
are
cakes
and
sweetened
coffee
on
a
tray
of
sparkling
gold
But
I
miss
black
tea
and
damper
by
a
fire
of
Gidgee
coal
I
am
driven'
out
each
evening
by
a
chauffeur
spruce
and
neat
Through
the
flowered
parks
and
gardens
and
the
crowded
city
streets
But
I
drift
back
through
the
ages
while
the
big
car
softly
rolls
To
a
stock
route
and
a
wagonette
and
a
fire
of
Gidgee
coal
I
attend
all
social
parties
in
the
rich
parts
of
the
town
Drinking
wine
from
fancy
glasses
as
the
waiters
go
their
rounds
But
I'd
rather
share
a
bottle
with
those
drovin'
mates
of
old
In
a
pair
of
dusty
moleskins
by
a
fire
of
Gidgee
coal
In
a
pair
of
dusty
moleskins
by
a
fire
of
Gidgee
coal
