A Song of Granny - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)
Written by:Slim Dusty
The old lady
The old lady
The old lady
The sun is shining bright and fair
A glorious summers day
And quietly in her old arm chair
Granny dreams away
She wanders back into the past
Across fine misty haze
When she was tender sweet sixteen
In those pioneering days
Gently rocking to and fro
Her days are free from care
Dreaming of the long ago
When she was young and fair
Although her road of life's been rough
She'd live it or again
Those tired old hands so feeble now
Have done the work of men
The old lady
The old lady
The old lady
Her home was a tumbled down old shack
Where lonely gum trees grew
She's faced the dangers way outback
And won the hardships too
Her just reward is yet to come
For her unceasing toil
When treasures of that promised land
Gently rocking to and fro
Her days are free from care
Dreaming of the long ago
When she was young and fair
The sun is setting in the west
To close another day
And quietly in her old arm chair
Granny dreams away
