As I pick up my guitar
to sing another song
I hear the walls
of this old hall
you've done this
thing too long
You know you've been
around for years
I guess you've
shown us all
I talk like this
when I reminisce
with an old time
country hall
I joined a tent show
as a kid
with a dream
and an old guitar
The Silvers All-Star
Cavalcade and
Dandy was the star
He taught me lots
about the game
today I understand
He was a great magician
Dandy was a
fine old man
Well I'm a howlin'
cattle-hand crooner
I'm an old time
dinosaur
Hey let me sing
where the rafters ring
in an old time
country hall
take it away now hey
I've been on the road
for forty years
and Dandy can
equal that
And you'll find his
faded poster still
in some halls
way out back
I like to go back stage
and dream sometimes
I just recall
The shows I've had
the good and bad
with these old time
country halls
Take the old
Town Hall Kalgoorlie
with it's old time
charm and grace
And your multi million
complexes they never
will replace
All glass and steel
and concrete
some large and
some too small
So let me sing
where the rafters ring
in an old time
country hall
Well I'm a howlin'
cattle-hand crooner
I'm an old time
dinosaur
Hey let me sing
where the rafters ring
in an old time
country hall
Well I'm a howlin'
cattle-hand crooner
I'm an old time
dinosaur
Hey let me sing
where the rafters ring
in an old time
country hall
In an old time
country hall
In an old time
country hall
