Slim Dusty - G'day Blue lyrics

Now Blue is known around the town as a real decent bloke He could take it on the chin when the chips are down And he could always take a joke You can pick him for miles by his friendly smiles He always gave a few With the colour of his hair he had names to spare But we all called him Blue Ah G'day Blue, how they treatin' you, come an' have yourself a beer We all feel better when you're around so drag yourself up here You're never on the bite and you're never a skite You're as dinkum as can be You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me When I stand around and listen to the things that people say I reckon if there were more like Blue, we'd be better off today When the boots go in Blue will give the grin an' give it to you straight He sees only good like all of us should and he'll stand up for a mate We all say "G'day Blue, how they treatin' you, come an' have yourself a beer We all feel better when you're around so drag yourself up here You're never on the bite and you're never a skite You're as dinkum as can be You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me." Now Blue's not ashamed to let you see the gentle side of man He'll offer his seat to the fairer s** anytime he can For he'll never stare an' he doesn't swear when a lady's walkin' by These things we mention ove' again an' hold our heads up high Ah G'day Blue, how they treatin' you, come an' have yourself a beer We all feel better when you're around so drag yourself up here You're never on the bite and you're never a skite You're as dinkum as can be You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me Australia need more men like Blue to lift us up once more An' our comradeship an' will to win has crumbled on the floor Our 'Fair Go, mate' s gone out the gate, we no longer seem to care Should the likes of Blue ever meet with you I reckon you will declare And you'll say "G'day Blue, how they treatin' you, come an' have yourself a beer We all feel better when you're around so drag yourself up here You're never on the bite and you're never a skite You're as dinkum as can be You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me; Ah, You're a good mate Blue, and I'm tellin' you, you can have this one on me."
