歌曲歌詞
Sniff The Digger's Dog (1994 Remaster) - Slim DustyOld Sniff the mangy one eye dog that knocked around the looA digger's dog was poor old sniff whom everybody knewHe didn't always live down here but came from way out westWhere men are men and dogs are dogs both are the very bestAt times the dogs would gather round Sniffs stories listened toOf droving days with traveling sheep round the Darling and BarcooA drafting contest once said Sniff was held out back of BourkeTen dogs took part in it with me and dogs who knew their workAs each dog rounded up his sheep he drove them in the penHe closed the gates put in the peg the peg fell out againThe peg you see was far too small for hole drilled in the postThough I went last I won the day don't think I want to boastBut the way crowd stood up and cheered I still remember wellAs I dipped the peg in water and I made the darn thing swellOh the city dogs all looked with awe and they were all agogTo hear of daring deeds like these from a simple country dogNow once with sheep in a mulga scrub said Sniff here's one that's trueA ram got lost from out the mob the boss kicked up a blueHe said “Hey Sniff go find him boy” when I returned that nightIt was on the old rams back I rode with glow worms for a lightThen Sniff he took a look around winking his old blind eyeAs a big Alsatian said “Ain't things getting dry”Old Sniff he looked him over said “ dry you're telling me”“Oh its way out west where sandflies breed that's where you ought to be”Then he made their blood all curdle and he looked from left to rightWhen he told the mob about a fight he had in an outback pub one nightSaid Sniff “the dogs all fell on me I thought I'd soon be dead”But I crept out of that scramble with camp oven on my headOld Sniff he took a look at them his chest swelled out with prideAs he spoke of great grandad and how poor grandad diedOh they built a statue to him; don't think I told a lieAnd I'll tell you where you'll find it nine miles from GundagaiOld sniff the mangy one eye dog that knocked around the looA digger's dog was poor old sniff whom everybody knewHe didn't always live down here but came from way out westWhere men are men and dogs are dogs both are the very best
