Well, G'day again Bleggy,

It turns out that all these sites promise the lyrics ... then ask if you can give the words to them.

Any way, I realised that I had the Best of Slim Dusty CD - so I have done my best to transcribe what Slim sings. What I have inside (brackets) is what I'm not sure about!

COUNTRY REVIVAL
Slim Dusty

They say our music's having a revival,
They say that country's on the climb.
But I say "what the hell are they talking about
The Country has been here all the time?"

There's a lot more people now admitting
They like Country music, after all,
Now the dollar sign's alongside country music -
It's cowboy boots and hats for one and all.

They say that Country fiddle's (all the rage now).
They say they've had enough of all this noise.
I suppose the music will return full circle,
Our (palates) and our stories now enjoy.

They say our music's having a revival,
They say that Country's on the climb.
But I say "what the hell are they talking about
The Country has been here all the time?"

(Play Charles …) - music interlude

When rock & roll came out and just took over,
A lot of music just went underground,
And somehow rock got tangled up with Country -
And Country music added to the sound.

Oh, they're singing songs they've only just discovered,
Just hear them talk about their brand new sound.
But there's nothing new about the songs they're singing,
It's just that Country music's come to town!

They say our music's having a revival,
They say that Country's on the climb.
But I say "what the hell are they talking about
The Country has been here all the time?"

… Sure it has! Country has been here all the time.

Enjoy!

Bob
