John Williamson - Bells In A Bushman's Ear lyrics

Don't knock the old hillbillies People love 'em out in the bush A simple tune with words that you can hear Y' don't need complications where hearts are kind and true Just words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear Maybe you need to stroll down a little dirt track Slow down and walk in time with a drover Hear the wind play a tune on the cypress pine Y' don't need beer and y' don't need wine Just words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear Like the hovering kite that whistles Telephone wires that hum Thunderstorms that rumble loud and clear He smells the rain that's coming Hear the co*kies screech and yell Words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear Maybe you need to stroll down a little dirt track Slow down and walk in time with a drover Rattle an enamel mug with a spoon Talk to y' dog, or talk to the moon With words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear Yeah rattle an enamel mug with a spoon Throw him a bone and make him swoon Words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear No don't knock the old hillbillies People love 'em out in the bush A campfire is no place for rock n' roll The proof is in the pudding, they don't come and go Images embedded in your soul Maybe you need to stroll down a little dirt track Slow down and walk in time with a drover And when it rains y' run amuck Dance on the back of a cattle truck Yeah words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear Peaches swimmin' inside a tin Mutton chops that grease y' chin Yeah words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear
