Pub With No Beer v1  Gordon Parsons

(aka Slim Dusty)

Ok now that's practically all it is to this song, the rest of the 
lyrics, ill just add in now


2.Now the publican's anxious
For the quota to come,
There's a far away look
On the face of the bum,
The maids gone all cranky
And the cook�s acting queer,
What a terible place
Is a pub with no beer.


3.Then the stockman rides up
Whith his dry dusty throat,
He breasts up to the bar,
Pulls a wad from his coat,
But the smile on his face
Quickely trunes to a sneer,
when the barman says sadly:
�the pubs got no beer.�


4.Then the swaggie comes in
Smothered in dust and flyes,
He throws down his roll,
Rubs the sweat from his eyes,
But when he is told he says
�What�s this i hear?
I�ve truged fifty flamin miles (spoken)
To a pub with no beer.�


5.There�s a dog on the v�randah,
For him master he waists,
But the boss is inside
Drinking wine with his mates,
He hurries for cover 
And he cringes in fear,
It�s no place for a dog
�Round a pub with no beer.


6.Old billy the Blacksmith,
 for the first time in his life
Has gone home cold sober
To his darling wife,
He walks into the kitchen 
she says �You�re early my dear,�
But he breaks down and tells her
�The pub�s got no beer.�


7.It�s lonesome away
from your kindred and all,
by the campfire at night
Where the wild dingos call,
but there�s nothing so lonesome,
so mormid or drear
Than to stand in a bar
Of a pub with no beer.


Now when it gets to �Of a pub with no beer�, when it hits the �beer�, its a D and thats where 
the song ends.
