Music video by Slim Dusty performing Old Time Country Halls • Stream Slim Dusty here: https://SlimDusty.lnk.to/stream-now • Lyrics: • As I pick up my guitar to sing another song • I hear the walls of this old hall - you've done this thing too long • You know you've been around for years, I guess you've shown us all • I talk like this when I reminisce with an old time country hall • I joined a tent show as a kid with a dream and an old guitar • The Silvers All-Star Cavalcade and Dandy was the star • He taught me lots about the game, today I understand • He was a great magician, Dandy was a fine old man • I'm a howlin' cattle-hand crooner • I'm an old time dinosaur • Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring • In an old time country hall, that's right • I've been on the road for thirty years but Dandy could double that • And you'll find his faded poster still in some hall way out back • I like to go back stage and dream sometimes and just recall • The shows I've had, the good and bad, shared with these country halls • Take the old Town Hall Kalgoorlie with it's old time charm and grace • And your mounting million complexes never will replace • All glass and steal and concrete, some large and some too small • So let me sing where the rafters ring in an old time country hall, hey • We showed last night in the school of arts and the town was real run-down • You'll find so many towns like that today as you move around • Yeah, the wind of change is blowin' up such an economic low • The old time shows we used to know will soon be off the road • I'm a howlin' cattle-hand crooner • I'm an old time dinosaur • Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring • In an old time country hall • In an old time country hall • In an old time country hall • Slim Dusty, AO MBE (born David Gordon Kirkpatrick; 13 June 1927 – 19 September 2003) was an Australian country music singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He was an Australian cultural icon and one of the country's most awarded stars, with a career spanning nearly seven decades and numerous recordings. He was known to record songs in the legacy of Australia, particularly of bush life and renowned Australian bush poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson that represented the lifestyle. The music genre was coined the bush ballad , a style first made popular by Buddy Williams, the first artist to perform the genre in Australia, and also for his many trucking songs. Dusty was the first Australian to have a No. 1 international hit song, with a version of Gordon Parsons' A Pub with No Beer . He received an unequalled 37 Golden Guitar and two Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the Country Music Roll of Renown.
