Luyện nghe bài hát Ted

On a back down Salisbury Plains
Ted was in 1895
Thrust the loins on to rusty soil
And the was cut with a scythe
He said "People are city folk today
And they couldn't tell shit clay
A crop of stobie poles
There's no regrets the memory roams
That is in me bones"

Did his bit in the World War
Took the to fight the Hun
Mud up to his crotch in Flanders
And the gas eating out his
He "Me best mate died hanging on the barbed wire
And when the attack was
We took prisoners to HQ
And shared a fag and a or two
were the same as me and you"

And I asked old Ted what meant
As he his hedging shears
"What a bloody question that is my boy
I it for 83 years"

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

As a on the line in the Nullabor
The Depression its scars
Heaving cold rails in the burning sun
And freezing the stars
He said "If you escaped the susso
You had a of price to pay
And time flowed like an open wound
I'd blow me dough on a
And the pain away"

On Sunday arvo sit and talk
Over a dozen cold End
Of what was gained and what was
And would never again
He said "Money you know it and goes
On booze and rent and
You can make a fortune on
And it all on the nags

But of toil with a bunch of mates
You know it leaves you
Though we never moved a
We sure it a try"
the wheat from the chaff
And the steel the scurf
And the man from the liar
If wisdom came by names
Ted was and fire

On the day that old Ted
No-one would have
in a pauper's grave
He lived and died
And the 727s overhead
Withe the of the angry roads
There seemed a pause for just a
And the silence was heard around for
And the silence was for miles
