Songtexte Tonight The Woolshed Swings - 1996 Digital Remaster - Slim Dusty

Oh the floods have cut the main road off we can't get into town
And the squatters in an awful state he thinks his sheep might drown
We've oiled out tongs and cutters up so the rust can't get our things
And were gonna make the best of it for tonight the woolshed swings
Oh the squatters daughters have snuck out to keep us company
And to show us all the disco steps for our corroboree
Old Bart beats on a kero tin while Dan the presser sings
Oh they may not be a symphony but tonight the woolshed swings
The ringers got an old ram stag he's a waltzin round the floor
The old man tells the learners of the tallies he has shore
The rousie and the jackaroo are fightin in the wings
And we've got our share of stubbies so tonight the woolshed swings
I'll say that
Oh the rain is beating on the roof old Dan is spruiking strong
And the cooks into the rum bottle and bursting into song
And no one gives a damn right now just what tomorrow brings
Oh there's bound to be some achin heads but tonight the woolshed swings
Now time is pressin onwards and the cook has just passed out
And the learners and the Jackaroo just shore the roustabout
The floor show came to a sudden halt when the squatters wife marched in
Now the girls are marchin out the door but still the woolshed swings
And the ringers got an old ram stag he's a waltzin round the floor
The old man tells the learners of the tallies he has shore
The rousie and the jackaroo are fightin in the wings
And we've got our share of stubbies but tonight the woolshed swings
Oh the ringer and the old ram stag have just fell down the chute
And the rousies sportin shiners and one of thems a beaut
The squatters lookin for the fool who let the woollies out
Ah tomorrow therell be hell to pay but tonight it's fun no doubt
Yeah no one gives a damn right now just what tomorrow brings
The boss might even sack us all but tonight the woolshed swings
Play it there Phil
