Sang this song to my daughter when she Was a baby, until she was 2 after that She could Sing it with ME Thanks.. Slim A Aussis Legend Mate Tony Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Horses are just so great!! I haven't been on one for 4 and a half years, the longest period of such in my entire 50 and a half years!!!! I grew up on a farm and worked with my father in young adulthood and always found time to get up to the farm until he sold his last one.
I was raised on the land and loved my horses . This song is very special to me . I certainly miss Slim Dusty and his music . We are very fortunate to have CDs to keep . It is a shame though that there will be no new releases , new songs from Slim since he is gone forever as will we all be eventually .
i played this song at my dad's funeral, he was 54 when he passed away on my 30th birthday last yr and i played lights on the hill when i spread his ashes on our favourite fishing spot .... this song means a lot to me cause dad was and still is my hero
This was played at my dads funeral i was 37 weeks with my daughter 2021 will mark 11 years since he left us My dad was a full on bushy everyones best friend mate and pop . Was a sad day when we daid goodbye but i keep close all the amazing memories of a truckie , shearer , dairy farmer and best dad i could ever have RIP Russell "JUNGLE " Jager Passed 13th march 2010 at 52 years old
I have often thought if Kelly Dixon knew of the evergreen he created with this classic, Nice to see Slim, Charley and Rod with this. Australia has some of the world's top country and I'm privileged to like it.
This song makes me a bit teary eyed.We arrived as immigrants from Argentina on. 24 of October 1980.And we brought with us bits of our past souls in the form of books and records.Amongst those records with Argentinian folk songs, there is one song called "El Corralero", it could be said that song its this same song, about a noble old horse, who after a life of work is spending his ( animals and people are "he or she" in Spanish) last years near the "corral" ,the yard. The song is really sad, since the character of the station hand in the song's lyrics says: " how do they suppose that I,after rising him since he was a foal, could sink a knife in his chest,just because the boss order it". Terrible Aussie draughts make pastures and feed prescious, old horses no longer useful can be a menace to the survival of younger and more useful ones. In his song, Slim is making a pledge for the old horse's life, asking to let him spend "his" last summers with "his" mates. Similar environments and country lifestyles and work and hardships, inspire similar poetry and songs and emotions. Not many young people, I guess, listen to Slim Dusty nowadays in 2020, and the old country traditions and legends originated in the lifestyle and hard work of early Australia have lost.meaning and are hard to understand or to inspire interest in the young and technologically savvy. Slowly, on both sides of the ocean, all this is fading into the past.
This Man has been a part of my life forever not that I knew him just the fact I heard his voice and loved his songs. I did see once live and walked out with a smile ear to ear. This Man's Talent as an Australian will never be equaled.
I'm a 3 year old eskimo and I think Slim is the best person ever in the world ever. Why can't every single young person be as smart and sophisticated as me
Everyone of Slim's songs tells a story, and it's good to just sit and listen, my late husband loved listening to Slim Dusty, he grew up in the country and married a girl from the city.
i'm a true blue Aussie EVEN before Slims passin i've brought many of his music me late Father has ALL nof his alburms in which i listen 2a some EVERYDAY......... GOD BLESSS Slims soul....... R.I>P. mate from all of us
Did the same 8 years ago to my old boy, he passed the day before my second girl was born and I can see his attitude in her. Sitting here 8 years later having a VB for him. Cheers to your dad
My dad recently passed. We chose this as one of his final songs. He was a huge slim dusty fan. He loved his horses too, n in his younger days did rodeo. Miss ya poppy❤
I am from Tennessee from the days before expressways crossed our state. I remember a truck coming to pick up a horse when I was a child. I remember the group of us are a little gang of kids being really sad to see him go. this song kind of hits home
the horse's name was trouble and he was huge. and it was considered a privilege on the one or two days in the week when you got to ride him at our school. the other days you wrote the smaller horses or the little Appaloosa that we all loved but we love trouble best because he was so big and you felt like you were trusted when you could ride him.
Mazy , I know, it can be hard to recognise the words. Try this..... Google “ (song name) lyrics” and print them off, if u can. You can then sing along to the songs . 👍
Glenn Johnson Love Slim`s music since i first heard "Pub with no beer"in`59.Got to know his early stuff just a few years later.Also love his song "Winter winds".Thanks for this great upload.
It is my Granddad's 10yr anniversary today and we also played this at his funeral. I have always loved Slim growing up and seeing this comment has filled me with sadness but love. Thankyou ❤
Yes he's lookin' kind of jaded and his sight is not the best And the hair around his muzzle's turnin' grey He has seen a hundred musters and I think it's only fair That we leave him in the longyard here today He was broken in the sixties, maybe sixty three or four And never faltered, always seemed to be on hand Never have I seen him beaten by a bullock in the bush And at a night watch he was pick of all the land. So leave him out there in the longyard do not rush him Leave him out there with his mate the baldy bay With his mates that he can graze, he can laze with Leave him there and we will turn him out today Hey ! Yes he’s lookin kinda jaded and his sight is not the best And the hair around his muzzle’s turnin grey He has seen a hundred musters and I think it’s only fair That we leave him in the longyard here today He’s entitled to some comfort for all the deeds he’s done Now he’s failin and his step is gettin slow So let him squander his last summer by the river with his mates In the paddock where the sweetest grasses grow So leave him out there in the longyard do not rush him Leave him out there with his mate the baldy bay With his mates that he can graze he can laze with Leave him there and we will turn him out today Leave him out there in the longyard do not rush him Leave him out there with his mate the badly bay (Spoken) Leave him there till after smoko, … and we'll catch him We'll pull his tail and turn him out today Yeah we’ll pull his tail and turn him out today That’s right !

Australia’s top country singer ,their are some very good one’s but Slim is number one
Real country, Slim Dusty and I don't care just sorry I weren't listening 20 years or more ago
I was raised on the land and loved my horses . This song is very special to me . I certainly miss Slim Dusty and his music . We are very fortunate to have CDs to keep .

I played it at my dads funeral too, mate, in 2018. And old horse trainer, shearer, etc.
The greatest country musician ever. Not just Australian, greatest ever to live, across the whole world.
Slim had a soul brother in the Argentine folk singer and composer, Atahualpa Yupanqui.
i am a 14 year old at a school where i am bullied for loving slim but i don't care because he's the best

that's right Cassandra burkle
He is fair dinkum..wow..lovely man
Yes he's lookin' kind of jaded and his sight is not the best
And the hair around his muzzle's turnin' grey
He has seen a hundred musters and I think it's only fair
That we leave him in the longyard here today
He was broken in the sixties, maybe sixty three or four
And never faltered, always seemed to be on hand
Never have I seen him beaten by a bullock in the bush
And at a night watch he was pick of all the land.
So leave him out there in the longyard do not rush him
Leave him out there with his mate the baldy bay
With his mates that he can graze, he can laze with
Leave him there and we will turn him out today
Hey !
Yes he’s lookin kinda jaded and his sight is not the best
And the hair around his muzzle’s turnin grey
He has seen a hundred musters and I think it’s only fair
That we leave him in the longyard here today
He’s entitled to some comfort for all the deeds he’s done
Now he’s failin and his step is gettin slow
So let him squander his last summer by the river with his mates
In the paddock where the sweetest grasses grow
So leave him out there in the longyard do not rush him
Leave him out there with his mate the baldy bay
With his mates that he can graze he can laze with
Leave him there and we will turn him out today
Leave him out there in the longyard do not rush him
Leave him out there with his mate the badly bay
(Spoken) Leave him there till after smoko,
… and we'll catch him
We'll pull his tail and turn him out today
Yeah we’ll pull his tail and turn him out today
That’s right !
I LOVE this song!
good on ya mate.
Gold.
