a bastard like me (for charlie perkins) - paul kelly lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was born in the bush
near old alice springs
as far as you get from the sea
my mother was a fighter
my daddy was too
he never knew a b-st-rd like me
my brothers and sisters scattered like the wind
from the desert and the hills to the sea
much too young, many died
but i have survived
so lucky a b-st-rd like me

[refrain]
so lucky a b-st-rd like me
i have survived a h-ll of a ride
n0body knows a b-st-rd like me

[verse 2]
call me a stray
a dog every day
call me a mongrel half-breed
and mongrels are strong
so if you take me on
better watch out for a b-st-rd like me

[refrain]
ohhhh
you better watch out for a b-st-rd like me
i fought all the way
i fight every day
you can’t stop a b-st-rd like me

[verse 3]
i’ve taken my l!cks
i’ve taken my kicks
i am a man of degrees
i wear the scars
i earned them so hard
every day in the lucky country

[refrain]
ohhhh
every day in the lucky country
i’ve taken my l!cks
i’ve kicked against the bricks
oh try and stop a b-st-rd like me
