lirik lagu slim dusty – only the two of us here
i camped one night in an empty hut
on the side of a lonely hill.
i didn’t go much on empty huts,
but the night was awful chill.
so i boiled me billy and had me tea
and made sure that the door was shut.
then i went to sleep in the empty bunk
by the wall of the old slab shed.
now it must have been in the middle of the night
when i was feeling cosy and warm
i woke and there at the foot of my bunk
i see a horrible ghostly form
it seemed in shape to be half an ape
with a head like a chimpanzee
and i wondered what it was doing there,
and what did it want with me?
you may say if you please that i had dts
or call me a crimson liar,
but i wish you had seen it as plain as me,
with it’s eyes like coals of fire.
then it gave a groan such a horrible moan,
that my blood run cold with fear,
and ‘there’s only the two of us here, ’
it said. ‘there’s only the two of us here!’
i kept one eye on the old hut door
and one on the awful brute;
for i only wanted to dress meself
and get to the door and scoot.
but i couldn’t find where i’d left me boots
so i hadn’t a chance to clear
and, ‘there’s only the two of us here, ’
it said. ‘there’s only the two of us here!’
i hadn’t a thing to defend meself,
couldn’t find a stick nor a stone,
and ‘there’s only the two of here!’
it said, again with a horrible moan.
i thought i’d better make some reply,
for i thought that the end was near,
i said “tarzan old man when i find my boots,
by h-ll there’ll only be one of us here.’
well i get my hands on me number tens
and out through the door i scoots,
and i lit the whole of the ridges up
with the sparks from me blucher boots.
so i’ve never slept in a hut since then,
and i tremble and shake with fear
when i think of the horrible brute that moaned,
‘there’s only the two of us here!’
