歌曲歌詞
Old mate in the gusty old weather
When our hopes and our troubles were new
In the years spent in wearing out leather
I found you unselfish and true
I have gathered these for as as together
For the sake of our friendship and you
You may think for a while and with reason
Though still with a kindly regret
That I've left it for late in the season
Prove I remember you yet
But you'll never judge me by their treason
Who prop thy friends and forget
I can still feel the spirit that bore us
And often the old stars will shine
I remember the last spree in corus
For the sake of that other lang syne
When the tracks lay divided before us
Your path through the future and mine
Through the frost wind that cuts like whip lashes
Through the ever blind haze of the drought
And in fancier times by the flashes
Of light in the darkness of death
I have followed the tent poles and ashes
Of camps that we moved further out
You will find in these pages a trace of
That side of our past that was bright
And recognize something the face of
A friend who has dropped out of sight
Oh I send them along in the place of
The letters I promised to write yeah
Old mate in the gusty old weather
When our hopes and our troubles were new
In the years spent in wearing out leather
I found you unselfish and true
I have gathered these for as as together
For the sake of our friendship and you better
I found
