Missin' Slim

Davey has a photo

From the day they met Slim Dusty

It hangs beneath the longhorns in a simple timber frame

And i dont know who is prouder

Davey or his old man

But you can see in in their faces and the way they said his name

They're missin' Slim

Missin' Slim

The bush has lost a hero and we all remember him

He was our mate

he was the king

We're missing slim

Missin' Slim

Scotty is a mountain man

Hard as stoney granite

But when "Pub" came on the radio

I swear I saw a tear

If his life was a movie

Slim Dusty was the soundtrack

But he never thought the end

was ever quite so near

They're missin' Slim

Missin' Slim

The bush has lost a hero and we all remember him

He was our mate

he was the king

We're missing slim

Missin' Slim

From the

To the end of the Canning Stockroot

Three rivers and that covaham

and out to Camowheal

Bullie Bullie Station

Charleville and Isa

Where the rain still tumbles down that way

In Nulla Nulla creek

They're missin' Slim

Missin' Slim

The bush has lost a hero and we all remember him

He was our mate

he was the king

We're missing slim

Missin' Slim

Missin' Slim

We're all missin' Slim
