Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song A Prouder Man Than You , by - Slim Dusty. Song from the album Henry Lawson and 'Banjo' Paterson, in the genre КантриA Prouder Man Than You |
| If you fancy that your people came of better stock than mine, |
| If you hint that higher breeding by a word or by a sign, |
| If you’re proud because of fortune or the clever things you do -- |
| Then I’ll play no second fiddle: I’m a prouder man than you! |
| If you think that your profession has the more gentility, |
| And that you are condescending to be seen along with me; |
| If you notice that I’m shabby while your clothes are spruce and new -- |
| You have only got to hint it: I’m a prouder man than you! |
| If you have a swell companion when you see me on the street, |
| And you think that I’m too common for your toney friend to meet, |
| So that I, in passing closely, fail to come within your view -- |
| Then be blind to me for ever: I’m a prouder man than you! |
| If your character be blameless, if your outward past be clean, |
| While 'tis known my antecedents are not what they should have been, |
| Do not risk contamination, save your name whate’er you do -- |
| 'Birds o' feather fly together': I’m a prouder bird than you! |
| If you fancy that your people came of better stock than mine, |
| If you hint that higher breeding by a word or by a sign, |
| If you’re proud because of fortune or the clever things you do -- |
| Then I’ll play no second fiddle: I’m a prouder man than you! |
| If you think that your profession has the more gentility, |
| And that you are condescending to be seen along with me; |
| If you notice that I’m shabby while your clothes are spruce and new -- |
| You have only got to hint it: I’m a prouder man than you! |
