This song brings tears to my eyes , I spent 20 years on my cattle and hay farm hoping my boys would take over one day , but they don't have their hearts in it and now have to make that decision to move it on as it's to hard on your own Thanks Slim for your great music !!
I have had this on cassette i have had it since 1994 plays perfectly and it has been played to death, Im 23 and i love this album. A personal favourite
..I certainly and thoroughly enjoyed this song, as I have many of Slim's renditions..... this brings back sweet memories of our old homestead, here, in rural Ontario, Canada.... Thanks for posting and sharing this, for all to enjoy....
austin ball i left school at 14years old to work on farm work on our farm for 48 years helped my brother and sisters get set up in there own bussness and then get told one day that had to sell farm and go to live in town block farmers please stay on your farms u are very important to this country LONG LIVE SLIM
I hope for your sake that you never have to sell. I didn't think we would ever sell either. That place was my dear old dads dream. But tough times are often unavoidable when you are dealing with nature. We were forced to sell. That was the saddest day of my life, it broke my heart to see dad have to sell. All the best.
Farmlands are becoming a rarei a reality all the world over -even in developing countries like India.This song is an amazing rendition in that context .I think he was a socialist .Simply amazing
sorry Slim the polis are not listening, only Dick Smith, the average Aussie needs to write to the polis,both partys are the same ,Paullen Hanson might do somthing if they gave her a chance,but its a closed shop.The farms almost sold and the imports keep rolling in.
rob cowlesYes we borrowed from the Commonweath bank $16.000 and paid halfback but that didn't satisfy the loan sharks -- but once again us little fishdidn't matter
This is what I'll be going through at my old home of 59 years. Slim I salute you!

GOD BLESS SLIM.
The day I told my brother to get out of my life and never come back after family farm disputes ended in line draw I the dust work out the rest
I drew that line in dust and unleash hell on a traitor
I want the old rusty bell
boomers bell
Micheal we can buy a great wall now if there is anyone left to pay for them.
Hey, if you guys like Slim, you should check out Stompin' Tom Connors. He's easily Slim's long lost Canadian brother.
Same with Corb Lund.
