| As I pick up my guitar to sing another song
|
| I hear the walls of this old hall — you’ve done this thing too long
|
| You know you’ve been around for years, I guess you’ve shown us all
|
| I talk like this when I reminisce with an old time country hall
|
| I joined a tent show as a kid with a dream and an old guitar
|
| The Silvers All-Star Cavalcade and Dandy was the star
|
| He taught me lots about the game, today I understand
|
| He was a great magician, Dandy was a fine old man
|
| I’m a howlin' cattle-hand crooner
|
| I’m an old time dinosaur
|
| Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring
|
| In an old time country hall, that’s right
|
| I’ve been on the road for thirty years but Dandy could double that
|
| And you’ll find his faded poster still in some hall way out back
|
| I like to go back stage and dream sometimes and just recall
|
| The shows I’ve had, the good and bad, shared with these country halls
|
| Take the old Town Hall Kalgoorlie with it’s old time charm and grace
|
| And your mounting million complexes never will replace
|
| All glass and steal and concrete, some large and some too small
|
| So let me sing where the rafters ring in an old time country hall, hey
|
| We showed last night in the school of arts and the town was real run-down
|
| You’ll find so many towns like that today as you move around
|
| Yeah, the wind of change is blowin' up such an economic low
|
| The old time shows we used to know will soon be off the road
|
| I’m a howlin' cattle-hand crooner
|
| I’m an old time dinosaur
|
| Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring
|
| In an old time country hall
|
| In an old time country hall
|
| In an old time country hall |
