horse bells and hobble chains - pam thomasson lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
he sat there reminiscing in his favourite easy chair
an old retired drover with thinning snow*white hair
i listened to his stories as he talked of days gone by
of droving mobs of cattle down the tanami

[pre*chorus]
he told of sleeping in a swag just rolled out on the ground
and listening to the night calls, the stillness all around

[chorus]
he said the sweetest music in the world was heard out on those plains
the tinkle of the horse bells and the clang of hobble chains

[verse 2]
his thoughts meandered slowly down the stock routеs of his mind
to a life and place and friendships hе left so far behind
his poor old heart was aching and he wished he could go back
just one more time a*droving down the wave hill track

[pre*chorus]
he told of riding night watch beneath the southern cross
and crooning to the cattle, just him and his old horse

[chorus]
he said the sweetest music in the world was heard out on those plains
the tinkle of the horse bells and the clang of hobble chains
[verse 3]
he spoke of the strzelecki down south australia way
and he reckoned that he’d ridden it a few times in his day
he said, “us old*time drovers, we really did it tough
the days were hot, the nights were cold, and life was pretty rough”

[pre*chorus]
he told of eating bully beef and damper every night
and sitting round the campfire when the moon was big and bright

[chorus]
he said the sweetest music in the world was heard out on those plains
the tinkle of the horse bells and the clang of hobble chains

[tag]
the tinkle of the horse bells and the clang of hobble chains
