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 c***ies 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
With words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear
