I Knew Your Father Real Well - Slim Dusty

G'day there young feller hey give us your hand

It's time you and me said hello

I nearly fell over when I saw your face

With a smile that I knew long ago

And you don't know me from a bar of soap

And you're wondering who in the hell

This old bloke could be and what do I want

I knew your father real well

I knew your father real well boy

In the days when our hair wasn't grey

But he'll never be dead son while you're still alive

I can hardly believe it today

When you walked in the door and up to the bar

I could see him as clear as a bell

You drink the same brand of poison he drank

Yes I knew your father real well

Didn't he ever just mention my name

He must have some time told a tale

Of the days on the stations out charleville way

And the droving trips down new south wales

A good mate he was but a bit of the lad

I could tell you a story or two

Like when we hit the hungerford pub on the tear

And we took on the bar just we two

Oh he told you that story well never mind

There's plenty more where that came from

The things a bloke does when he's keen on a girl

Of course long before he met your mum

He settled down then and I stayed on the move

But I miss my old mate on the track

The camps and the musters and some of the yarns

Yes I knew your father way back

Don't tell me that stinking great road train outside

Is what you're droving on nowadays

My old mate would turn in his grave so he would

To see you desert the old ways

But it's none of my business and I'm sorry I spoke

I was wrong to because after all

You're following still on the old pilgrims tracks

Your father and I drove before

Yes I knew your father real well boy

And I wish he were here by our side

To join with the two of us yarning away

He'll be glad we met up you and I

Well thanks for the yarn give my best to your mum

I bet she remembers me well

And maybe we'll drink to old memories again yeah

I knew your father real well the old geezer

I knew your father real well
