Old Gidgee Tree (Live) (1996 - Remaster) (Live) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)

I will tell a story true but you may doubt me

And you may need a little salt to get it down

A Coastal town improvement league decided

To add some outback flavour to their town

They transported to the coast a knarled old gidgee

Transplanted it within their civic park

It looked out of place with tough old twisted branches

And scars where stock had rubbed against it's bark

Well they cared for it and soon it started blooming

But the seeds that fell lay dormant on the ground

Oh the coastal trees and shrubs around ignored it

And soon it's leaves and branches withered down

As it happened in the town there lived a bushman

Who'd been ruined by hardships of a drought

And one day as he was strolling through that parkland

He saw that tree and gave a joyful shout

So he went there ev'ry day and dreamed beneath it

And somehow that old tree just seemed to know

For it started blooming once again and this time

The seeds that fell at once began to grow

But the man was out of place just as the tree was

He was old and knew no other way of life

And his health was failing through the smog pollution

And the knowledge of his hard financial strife

So the bushman died beneath that tree one ev'nin'

And it's strange to say within a week or so

The seedlings and the tree began to wither

No matter what was done to make them grow

For the old tree had no will to go on living

Like the spirit broken bushman from the west

He'd been brought there by some relatives in kindness

Like the tree the people thought they did their best

But where ringers boiled their quarts beneath that old tree

And tied their bridal reins upon it limbs

There was push bikes leaned against it and at night

There were parties with their stubbies and their cans

'Tis the story of a tree and one old bushman

Who were taken from their home against their will

And the moral of it is that very often

For it's well intended kindness that can kill
