When Slim Dusty toured the Highlands of Papua New Guinea back in the early 90s...maaan it was like the second coming of Christ. Crowds walked days across valleys mountains,rivers etc to watch this Aussie Legend perform.I was just a young teenager among the massive crowd dancing and singing along to Slim Dusty. Rest in Peace,Sir. Love from a fan in PNG.
I made several port visits to Australia when I was in the US Navy in the 70’s and early 80’s they were wonderful visits. I thank the Aussies for their wonderful hospitality given to us. Great folks and always enjoy listening to Slim Dusty in my travels in the American west and Rocky Mountains. Greetings from Colorado
So nice to see that the entire world hasn’t gone insane. Some people still realise the Internet is such crap and in no way a substitute for what we had.
G'day! Canada here: as a kid I grew up on Canadian Military bases (we were called base brats) and there were continuous exchanges with soldiers and airmen from other Commonwealth countries. By far the favourites were the Aussies - military bases are dreary places, but they lit up when the Aussies were here. We learned all about Mateship. Slim Dusty and Gordon Ramsay. They were the most open and hospitable guys I have seen. How can you not love a country which pauses in the middle of Slim's funeral to sing Pub With No Beer? All the best to you, mates.
I miss the REAL AUSTRALIA. Bring back those days of the bush poets, campfires, dogs and horses. Hard men and tough women. When people would break their neck to help a stranger. When a mans word was his bond and favours were never forgotten and always repaid in kind...somewhere down the track. RIP Slim.
One company deciding the fate of human existence it’s really scary. I want my Australia back not stupid people thinking we should all act like Americans
What a great country song. I can't believe we haven't heard it in the USA looks like this guy is the stompin Tom of Australia. Stompin Tom was a very proud Canadian country music singer

Lyrics if your Curious : Well it's lonesome away from your kindred and all By the camp fire at night Where the wild dingos call But there's nothin' so lonesome Morbid or drear Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer Now the publican's anxious for the quota to come And there's a far away look on the face of the bum The maids got all cranky and And the cooks acting queer What a terrible place, is a pub with no beer Then the stockman rides up with his dry dusty throat He presses up to the bar and pulls a wad from his coat But the smile on his face quickly turns to a snear As the barman says sadly "The pubs got no beer." Then the swaggy comes in smoothered in dust and flies He throws down his roll and rubs the sweat from his eyes But when he is told he says "what's this I hear" I've trudged fifty flamin' miles To a pub with no beer Now there's a dog on the veranda for his master he waits But the boss is inside drinkin' wine with his mates He hurries for cover and he cringes with fear It's no place for a dog Round a pub with no beer And old Billie the Blacksmith, the first time in his life Why he's gone home cold sober to his darling wife He walks in the kitchen she says your early Bill dear But then he breaks down and he tells her The pub's got no beer Well its hard to believe that there's customers still But the money's still tinkling in the old ancient til The wine dots are happy and I know they're sincere When they say they don't care if the pubs got no beer So it's a lonesome away from your kindred and all By the camp fire at night Where the wild dingos call But there's nothin' so lonesome Morbid or drear Than to stand in the bar of that pub with no beer
Not quite Lars Brod. Gordon Parsons took the melody from American Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer". Parsons did put the new words to the Foster tune. Written about 1840, Foster's song had long since gone public domain so Parsons was able to copyright his new song. In the U.S. (Canada too I think) this song is "A Bar With No Beer" with some appropriate different vocabulary in the lyrics. Regards from America.
Our petrol station has just had three days of zero fuel. The freezing weather has killed the car wash and the screenwash towers. We can still put air in the tyres, but nothing else. The shop is still open, but the refrigerator is warmer than it is outside. To lighten the mood a little this morning, I played the managers this song, and they got the parallels: the customers' smile quickly turns to a sneer, when the staff sadly tells him.... there's no fuel here! Now they get it when I say "the place is like a pub with no beer"...!
Scotland just announced they will open their pubs with no beer, or any other alcohol. After Sturgeon bragging they were going to prove how great they are doing by opening the pubs before England.
@@markmathews6876 It's "The Pinacles" out of Broken Hill. Same place Mad Mad 2 compund was filmed. 1983. Was an anouncement on 2BH radio that any with a ute or truck was invited out. Part of "The Slim Dusty Movie". Slim also did a local concert at the Civic Center as well. Hope this helps.
In the mid 80's I was in a pub, with many Australians, when it ran out of beer. A bunch of the Ozzies were not impressed. They were #@#$%^& and it was immensely funny at the same time.
It's mournfully amusing and was probably a song that made a huge difference to his career, every true Aussie knows of the song and Slim Dusty. I imagine if played at a bar it may make punters drink more just in case the pub runs out. The story is emotionally convincing and tragic for the patrons who drink beer. It's a genius song a winner through and through !
I`d never heard of this bloke before today and the reason I am aware of him today is that Google is celebrating `Slim Dusty Day.` It doesn`t celebrate an "Elvis Day" or a "Beatles Day," oh no ! But a Slim Dusty Day. It doesn`t even celebrate an "Einstein Day," a "Hawkins Day..." but a Slim Dusty Day. Fair play to him, but..... WTF?

It’s very hard to smile, because I still miss Slim 😢

Hello Heidi. I'm french, and the original of that famous "natural drinking song" is from "The Dublibers". And it's good, you should try !
Wow that's interesting 👍
Hello Heidi 💕 hope you doing okay?
Love you Slim❤
This was played at my Grandpas funeral. Coming to say how lovely the song is and how much it means to me now!

@@ranabros9082
It sure aint Melbourne either mate
Canada’s in the same boat, used to be a nation of frontier and the outdoors, but now most people live in huge cities and hate their culture
Same place its ever been, country towns
You can always go out bush to relive those old days
What a great man and Australian icon.

Yes, me too, BIG time,,,

My step-father passed away, he was a cowboy and loved Slim Dusty, I miss him, I love this as a reformed alcoholic.
Well, this little corner of England now knows the song as our pub has no beer! (until tomorrow)
I absolutely love this son. ❤
best song ever for elderly
What a great country song. I can't believe we haven't heard it in the USA looks like this guy is the stompin Tom of Australia. Stompin Tom was a very proud Canadian country music singer
Died the same year as Johhny Cash
Some of us Yanks have heard this song on the Dr. Demento radio show.
The good old days for sure.
God bless Australia!!! ❤️

Amen 2 that!

I really enjoyed this in 1960. Well done.
This is so good. Slim dusty is so Australian when he sings

Love this song
Lyrics if your Curious :
Well it's lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the camp fire at night
Where the wild dingos call
But there's nothin' so lonesome
Morbid or drear
Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer
Now the publican's anxious for the quota to come
And there's a far away look on the face of the bum
The maids got all cranky and
And the cooks acting queer
What a terrible place, is a pub with no beer
Then the stockman rides up with his dry dusty throat
He presses up to the bar and pulls a wad from his coat
But the smile on his face quickly turns to a snear
As the barman says sadly
"The pubs got no beer."
Then the swaggy comes in smoothered in dust and flies
He throws down his roll and rubs the sweat from his eyes
But when he is told he says "what's this I hear"
I've trudged fifty flamin' miles
To a pub with no beer
Now there's a dog on the veranda for his master he waits
But the boss is inside drinkin' wine with his mates
He hurries for cover and he cringes with fear
It's no place for a dog
Round a pub with no beer
And old Billie the Blacksmith, the first time in his life
Why he's gone home cold sober to his darling wife
He walks in the kitchen she says your early Bill dear
But then he breaks down and he tells her
The pub's got no beer
Well its hard to believe that there's customers still
But the money's still tinkling in the old ancient til
The wine dots are happy and I know they're sincere
When they say they don't care if the pubs got no beer
So it's a lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the camp fire at night
Where the wild dingos call
But there's nothin' so lonesome
Morbid or drear
Than to stand in the bar of that pub with no beer
What's happened to Australia they would find a way to ban this in 2024 😢
WTF . . .
They can’t ban the Australian spirit mate keep a cold tin in your hand a meat pie in your guts good as gold 🖕🇦🇺🤝
Really?

Leave it to an Aussie to come up with the most depressing country song. Too think there is a bar with no beer.
