paroles de chanson The Lady Is a Truckie - Slim Dusty

Barefoot in the cabin
Cause she had lost her shoes in mud
While tying on a tow rope
As the heavens opened up

With the track all wet & slippery
As a pork chop in the rain
She kicked the motor over
Had another go again

The old truck groaned & tried to move
But didn't have a chance
Bogged down to the axles
So Toot's dragged out the axe

Cut down some branches
Too put underneath the tyres
Set to work with spade in hand
Ankle deep in mire

I'm telling you it's true
The truckie was a lady
Everybody knew her
From Weipa to the Gulf

From Cairns to Edward River
And on all the Cape York stations
Toot's the lady trucker
Is a legend in the north
