A large piece of Australia
Has now faded away~
A country singen legend
Has past away today~
Everyone knew of him
Since he first got on the road~
Singen his Australian country songs
Regardless of the load~
Australia they will miss him
And all who knew him too~
Slim Dusty was as Australian
As the Roo and Cockatoo~
He had his very own country style
And his very own country hat~
He was our own Slim Dusty
One of the best , no doubting that~
But he will not be forgotten
He will live in the hearts of many~
For when it came to country music
Our Slim was as good as any~
He was our own Slim Dusty
Always one of a kind~
He will live forever
Within our hearts and within our minds~
And his songs will always be around
And they will always still be sung~
The songs of our own Slim Dusty
Till Australias day is done~
