Luyện nghe bài hát Ted

On a block down Salisbury Plains
Ted was born in
from the loins on to rusty soil
And the cord was cut with a
He said "People there are city folk
And they couldn't shit from clay
A ripening crop of poles
There's no regrets when the roams
earth is in me bones"

Did his bit in the first War
Took the to fight the Hun
Mud up to his crotch in fields
And the gas out his lungs
He said "Me best mate died on the barbed wire
And the attack was through
We some prisoners to HQ
And a fag and a yarn or two
were the same as me and you"

And I asked old Ted history meant
As he sharpened his shears
"What a bloody fool that is my boy
I it for 83 years"

See him every on Anzac Day
Swilling beers at the Rex Hotel
He'd laugh his mates and go deep in thought
Where he went he couldn't tell
He said "King and Country,
We just to survive
The anger might have faded still this grabs me deep inside
I you could call it pride"

As a navvy on the line in the
The Depression left its
Heaving cold rails in the burning sun
And freezing beneath the
He said "If you the susso queues
You had a of price to pay
And when time flowed an open wound
I'd blow me dough on a
And drink the away"

On Sunday arvo he'd sit and
Over a cold West End
Of was gained and what was lost
And never come again
He said "Money you know it comes and
On booze and and fags
You can a fortune on overtime
And it all on the nags

But years of with a bunch of mates
You know it you satisfied
Though we never a mountain
We sure it a try"
Pick the wheat the chaff
And the steel the scurf
And the honest man from the
If wisdom came by other
Ted was earth and

On the day that old Ted
No-one would have
Buried in a pauper's
He lived and alone
And the roared overhead
Withe the drone of the roads
There seemed a pause for a while
And the was heard around for miles
And the silence was for miles
