Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Modern Yodelling Song (Slim Dusty)
Subject: Lyr Req: ...yodel through my sunburned nose
I had a 78 when I was a kid. Some of the lines of the song are still with me but most of it is lost and forgotten.
I don't know its origins. It was a comic coyboy song sung by an Australian -- (Buddy Williams?? Don't know really) Here's what I remember:
All dressed up (maybe not exact words) in my saddle As I ride through town today Folks in town look at me and frown But I grin back and say
You can have your (something) and (something) You can jeer at my western clothes But I can rope and sing like anything And yodel through my sunburned nose.
Yodel-a-dee-o Yodel-a-dee-o Yodel-a-dee.
The rest is gone. Maybe there was more in the first bit??
