Luyện nghe bài hát Ted

On a back block Salisbury Plains
Ted was born in
Thrust from the on to rusty soil
And the was cut with a scythe
He said "People are city folk today
And they couldn't tell from clay
A ripening crop of 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 fields
And the gas out his lungs
He said "Me best 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 sharpened his hedging
"What a fool question that is my boy
I it for 83 years"

See him year on Anzac Day
beers down at the Rex Hotel
He'd laugh with his mates and go deep in
Where he went even he tell
He "King and Country, cock'n'bull
We fought to survive
The anger might have faded still this grabs me deep inside
I you could call it pride"

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

On Sunday arvo he'd sit and
Over a cold West End
Of what was gained and what was
And would come again
He "Money you know it comes and goes
On and rent and fags
You can make a on overtime
And it all on the nags

But of toil with a bunch of mates
You know it you satisfied
Though we moved a mountain
We gave it a try"
Pick the from the chaff
And the steel from the
And the man from the liar
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 angry
There a pause for just a while
And the was heard around for miles
And the silence was heard for
