Текст песни Bent-Axle Bob - Slim Dusty
I
was
short
of
a
dollar
so
I
called
on
a
bloke,
Who's
pay
wasn't
good,
his
gear
was
a
joke,
You
can't
pick
and
choose
when
you're
down
on
your
luck,
And
your
only
profession
is
err
drivin'
a
truck.
So
we
talked
for
a
spell
and
he
gave
me
a
job,
This
cunning
ole
guy
known
as
Bent-Axle
Bob,
The
rig
which
he
owned
was
an
F
model
Mack,
And
the
run
that
I
drew
was
the
Territory
track.
Bob's
brakes
was
the
kind
which
no
other
would
cart,
The
places
he
sent
me
would
just
break
your
heart,
From
dead-ends
in
Balmain
to
drill
rigs
out
west,
With
the
sands
of
a
desert,
put
your
gears
to
the
test.
But
I
battled
along
an'
I
shifted
some
weight,
Old
Bent-Axle
whinged
every
time
I
ran
late,
Small
wonder
if
you
saw
the
smoke
from
the
pump
And
saw
half
the
metal
that
I
found
in
the
sump
(Oh
yeah,
that's
right.)
The
trailers
were
buckled,
the
tyres
were
worn,
The
tarps
which
he
owned
were
tattered
and
torn,
The
dogs
and
the
chains
were
all
rusty
and
joined,
Oh
was
easy
to
see
how
his
nickname
was
coined
Every
axle
was
bent
and
the
dolly
was
cracked
The
kingpins
was
strained
from
the
loads
they
had
hacked,
I
did
what
I
could
mate,
yes
I
really
tried,
Old
Bent
Axle
whinged
'til
the
day
that
he
died.
(He
did
yeah)
I'm
sittin'
here
at
home
an'
I'm
out
of
a
job,
No
longer
employed
by
old
Bent
Axle
Bob,
I
note
from
the
lawyer,
I
read
what's
inside,
Seems
I
have
a
road
train
now
that
old
Bent
Axle
died.
Yes
I'm
heir
to
the
fortune
of
Bent
Axle
Bob,
"I
needed
a
good
driver
an'
you
need
a
job,
You
can
drive
this
old
rig
to
the
scrap
dealers
dump,
Complete
with
bent
axles
and
that
smokey
fuel
pump."
Complete
with
bent
axles
and
smokey
fuel
pump,
You
can
drive
this
old
wreck
to
the
scrap
dealers
dump,
(And
leave
it
there.)
