Err ... G'day again, Catherine ...

I did duck into the official Slim Dusty web site at:
Slim Dusty Site.

This had only two listings for the track you want:

Album Title LOOKING FORWARD, LOOKING BACK
Looking Forward Looking Back, Never Was At All, There's A Rainbow Over The Rock, Matilda No More, The Bloke Who Serves The Beer, Paddy William, Clean Up Our Own Backyard, Old Time Country Songs, A Bad Day's Fishing, Port Augusta, Good Heavens Above, Hooks & Ride, Keela Valley Coals, Memories And Dreams, Looking Forward Looking Back (reprise)
Catalogue Number 27160 2 TC, 27160 2 CD
First released July 13, 2000

Album Title SIDE BY SIDE (THE DUSTY COLLABORATIONS)
Track listing: Two Singers (One Song); The Biggest Disappointment; A Fire Of Gidgee Coal; Matilda No More; We're Just A Couple Of Boys From The Bush; Charleville; When The Rain Tumbles Down In July; Lights On The Hill; When The Currawongs Come Down; Duncan; Sunset Years Of Life; Country Revival; Pub With No Beer; Riding Through The Valley In The Spring; Christmas, When I Was Big As You; I Love To Have A Dance With Dorothy
Catalogue Number ?? CD ? TC
First released November 2002; only available as a bonus disc with re-release of Travellin' Still... Always Will or for a limited period from this website.

It would appear that Slim recorded the track, on his own, in 2000 ... then did a duo (presumably with Kasey Chambers) in 2002. I don't have either CD ... and I can't see anywhere likely to have posted Slim's lyrics (... yet ... ).
