Lyrics The Angel of Goulburn Hill - Slim Dusty

Well I picked up my load, hit the road on the southbound highway
For once in my life I got the feelin' that luck was all my way
I got a clear run ahead of me still,
And a load that will pay me some bills
And I know my angel is waitin' on Goulburn Hill

About a year ago I was flying down Goulburn Hill
Floating out around an old Kenwood, just for the thrill
And the load beneath the old tub, was as high as my bank overdraft
When the brakes they started to fade on Goulburn Hill

Well I don't mind sayin' I nearly went out my mind
I went cold all over as the speedo started to climb
You better float'n in angel gear
Well there's no place for doing it here
With a bend and a bridge at the bottom of Goulburn Hill

I was calling myself all kinds of one eyed lair
Tryin' gearin', stearin' and pumping an' sayin' my prayers
When the posts were just a white blur
That's the moment I first saw her
They say she's called the Angel of Goulburn Hill

She was there in the cab and I don't know how she got there
She put her hand on the wheel and said try the brakes just once more
There's no rhyme or reason to show, why the old girl suddenly slowed
But that's how it happened that night on Goulburn Hill

Now don't think that I'm the only one who's ever seen her
And don't mention angel gear to me 'cause I've been there
I got a new paint job on this truck
And I hope it brings me good luck
But the name on the door is 'The Angel of Goulburn Hill.'

Oh, the name on the door is 'The Angel of Goulburn Hill.'
