As I pick up my guitar to sing another song
I hear the walls of this old hall-you done this thing too long
You know you been around for years, I guess you shown us all
I talk like this when I reminisce with an old time country hall.
Verse2
I joined a tent show as a kid with a dream and an old guitar
De silvers all star cavalcade and Dante was the star
He taught me lots about the game, today I understand
He was a great magician and he was a fine old man
I a howlin cattle camp crooner, I an old time dinosaur
Hey. Let me sing where the rafaters ring, in an old time country hall.
verse 3
I been on the road for forty years and Dante could equal that
And you find his faded posters still in some halls way out back
I like to go back stage and dream sometimes and just recall
The shows I had, the good and bad, shared with these country halls.
verse 4
Take the old Town hall Kalgoorlie with it old time charm and grace
And your multi-million complexes never will replace
All glass and steel and concrete, some large and some too small
Oh let me sing where the rafters ring in the old time country halls.
I howlin cattle camp crooner, I an old time dinosaur
Hey, let me sing where the rafters ring, in an old time country hall
I holing cattle camp crooner, I an old time dinosaur
Hey let me sing where the rafters ring, in an old time country hall
