paroles de chanson A Mate Who Can Do No Wrong - Slim Dusty



We learnt the creed at Hungerford,
We learnt the creed at Bourke;
We learnt it in the good times
And learnt it out of work.
We learnt it by the harbour-side
And by the billabong:
No matter what a mate may do,
A mate can do no wrong, wrong wrong
He's like a king in this respect
No matter what they do,
And king-like shares in storm and shine
The Throne of Life with you.
We learnt it when we were in gaol
And put it in a song
No matter what a mate may do,
A mate can do no wrong, wrong wrong
They'll say he said a bitter word
When he's away or dead.
But we're loyal to his memory,
No matter what he said.
And we should never hesitate,
But strike out good and strong,
And jolt the slanderer on the jaw
A mate can do no wrong, wrong wrong
He's like a king in this respect
No matter what they do,
And king-like shares in storm and shine
The Throne of Life with you.
We learnt it when we were in gaol
And put it in a song
No matter what a mate may do,
A mate can do no wrong, wrong wrong
No matter what a mate may do,
A mate can do no wrong, wrong wrong
No matter what a mate may do,
A mate can do no wrong, wrong wrong
