Lyrics
For this great land, we've done us proud.
I sailed the seas in search of freedom,
I tilled the soil for seed to grow,
I built the fences to hold the cattle,
I mined the earth in search of gold.
I sheared the sheep of golden fleeces,
I formed the union, to win fair pay,
I built a railroad to cross the country,
I fought a war for the countrys sake.
We've done us proud to come this far
Down through the years to where we are
Side by side, hand in hand, we've lived and died,
For this great land, we've done us proud
I kept a home and raised a family,
I taught your children as if my own,
I painted pictures to show the beauty,
I wrote the stories to keep the flame.
We've done us proud to come this far
Down through the years to where we are
Side by side, hand in hand, we've lived and died,
For this great land, we've done us proud
(We've done us proud) I worked the factory,
(To come this far) I worked the land,
(Two hundred years) I built the houses,
(To where we are) I baked the plan,
(Side by Side) I drive the highway,
(Hand in Hand) I right the wrong,
(We've lived and died) I reach for glory,
(For this great land) I sing the songs,
(We've done us proud).
(To come this far) To come this far,
(Two hundred years) Two hundred years,
(To where we are) To where we are,
(Side by side) Side by side.
(Hand in Hand) Hand in Hand,
(We've lived and died)
Slim Dusty, AO MBE (born David Gordon Kirkpatrick; 13 June 1927 - 19 September 2003) was an Australian country music singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He was an Australian cultural icon and one of the country's most awarded stars, with a career spanning nearly seven decades and numerous recordings. He was known to record songs in the legacy of Australia, particularly of bush life and renowned Australian bush poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson that represented the lifestyle. The music genre was coined the "bush ballad", a style first made popular by Buddy Williams, the first artist to perform the genre in Australia, and also for his many trucking songs. Dusty was the first Australian to have a No. 1 international hit song, with a version of Gordon Parsons' "A Pub with No Beer". He received an unequalled 37 Golden Guitar and two Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the Country Music Roll of Renown

This man is an absolute bloody legend. I'm aboriginal and this song inspired me to play guitar.
The Real Australian National Anthem ..God Bless You Slim... We will never forget you!!!
Yeah
How good would that be.
Dave you gotta make that happen.
I would be so proud to have this as our national anthem by an Australian icon love him so much YES he's left us but he will never die he will live on through our hearts for ever lorna Sargent xox
This song was the first song to be played at my grandmother's funeral, and I honestly couldn't even last till the second chorus. Slim Dusty truly is one of the greatest Australian singers, and he pretty much embodies the Australian Spirit. Love you Slim. Miss you Grandma.
Hi Cora, yes what a beautiful song. We too , played this at my dear dad’s funeral. 🥲 🙏 😇
Sorry 🙏 for your loss mate
I've been put in charge of putting a playlist together for my grandfathers funeral and every song makes me cry more and more cause every song makes me miss him more and more
My Dad was a NASA engineer. Crew Systems. I was home. He was sitting in front of the TV. Phone off the hook. He did not come home for 2.5 days. Apollo 13 blew up behind the moon. They had 1.0 hour of breathable air left. All the centers je said worked on the solution. I suspect he figured out the solution. Wouldn't take credit though,; they called him back to work. It was Wednesday.
We played the same song at my nan's funeral aswell now I can't stop crying when I hear it 🕊
Great song about an amazing country. Had the amazing opportunity to live in Australia for 4 years and I miss it everyday. Love from the USA
This should 100% be the Australian national anthem!
God bless ya Slim mate.
Hope ya doing well up there.
Even As a Pom I can’t listen to this without tears running absolutely great great man love his music!!
Imagine how us Aussies feel? Great stuff.
To me there is no greater Aussie than Slim Dusty, he wove his music around us all and held us together for a moment in time and may the universe truly bless him forever........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey this is great brings back memories proud Australia.
Good onya Cobber
I'm a aboriginal but I love all slim songs because my grandmother love his song...god bless to you slim the LEGEND 🙏
Would be so neat to have those children as they are today. So beautiful a story. I am an American but have no greater desire than to see Australia as a great member of free democracy loving countries. Rest well Slim. We won't forget you, your love of Australia or your songs. An inspiration to all.
How good is this. They should be playing on radio throughout Australia at moment to lift Moral. AJ.
This should replace advance australia fair This should be the new anthem.
For sure
It goes to long but YELL YES it should be
Bit more bloody relevant today, than girt by fucken sea.
Russ Pearson girt by sea literally means surrounded by sea which Australia is as Australia is an island the only country to be a country an island and it’s own continent
@ rockin rabbitohs :: So shorten it, except for FULL FORMAL occasions like maybe the opening of Parliament, cut it back to a couple of verses.
Just like they did with the 5 verses of Advance Australia Fair.
Slim done us proud.
A true Australian, the Man who is Australia with his legacy his songs will go on forever. This song is the national anthem to me and many others, A truly wonderful and masterpiece of Australia.
We need the pride Slim Dusty sung in this song back in Australia today
You have that right mate too right
He is a Australian Icon sadly missed but well loved. Thanks Mate.
he was my hero
your relly like slim dusty
So true
Very beautiful and touching! Brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful Gentleman and singer.
Back when country music was true country sung by true country singers. I was born when this kind of music started to die off. I am thankful i lived in a time when people sang true country
I’m a Kiwi and I think this man is a legend! Rest easy Slim
Agree with you 100% brother.
i;m a emu and i agree

You know:
People say "Slim is a Legend"
I respond: "He's not that poorly known!"
Moker ever since I was a little child, I’ve always been fascinated with Australia🇦🇺
Moker God Bless Texas and Australia
I’m so sorry that progressive liberalism ruined your country as it’s also ruining mine my dear friend.
Moker if you’re ever drinking beers with friends and family have a listen to my “Rainy Day Woman” playlist.
It’s a mix of both our nations country music.
Moker that is so true my friend. Very well said!

Freddi Gallipoli did that I think.
@@maximilianmusohyeahyeah3681 no it really didnt, it was a sour victory, i know the belgiuns love us and the french cause we served in the western front (talking war wise) but slim dusty made us proud of something gallipoli didnt many of our peoples lives were lossed due to the fact that the brits dont know tactics... sorry i dont wanna type more on this becausr it really boils my blood
We got put on the map by a scientific theory.
An absolute legend from another time! Will never be another slim dusty!
Slim dusty is a true legend and no one could ever take he’s place as an indigenous person he truely did do us proud slim dusty will live on through us rest easy slim
If I was the Supreme Leader of Australia this would be the national anthem.
Slim was the first person I had the privilege of seeing perform at one of his concerts, I was just 10 years old. Have loved his music for many years, I`m now 75
What a treasure this LENGEND is for all Australians ? Thanks Slim .
No ifs no buts this should have been our Australian Anthem , but with all our bloody political correctness and bullshit these days ,the youth of today of will scream and cry
Happy Australia Day 2023 🇦🇺
Thank god for the internet. I've just discovered this great singer today for the first time & I'm all the way in Canada.

Indeed
Love this song! 🇦🇺 Good on you Slim! 👌 Thank you. 🙏
Whilst not this song, my grandfather would put on a Slim song on his old 45rpm player. Grandad passed decades ago, but I've had records, cassettes and CDs from then on. Also, Grandad looked and dressed like Slim. Love you Slim for the enjoyment. R.I.P.
One of his best songs. Love it so much 🥰🥰🥰

I am an indigenous woman of this beautiful country of our. I love listening to Slim Dusty songs. He should have sang this song in the Olympic Game in Brisbane.
That’s exactly right.
I totaly agree with you
Yes.... youbare absolutely right ✅️
Never heard this song before, I think its great, wish it were on Karaoke, I wish many of his songs were also.
Hats off to you Australia!
Slim and my Dad both passed in the same year. Slim's songs were played long and loud that day. Slim still travels with me every day as I drive, around this great land.
❤️❤️❤️
Very nice song . It would be nice to have this our national anthem. This song is all about our country.
If this was the national anthem it would represent our country in every just listen to this great song very carefully.
What a beautiful song, sung by a beautiful soul.
Somebody's gotta keep Australia beautiful !
Mick Taylor I'm betting
I think everybody needs to keep it beautiful, we all need to stick together to keep our country pure, because as for me that is my priority in life
Possibly my favourite Slim song , plus it sums up what this country used to be ,sadly not now.
Love slim he was so special I play his songs most days Great Australian
Uncle slim, thank you for all the years of wonderful music, I'm truely proud to be a aboriginal Australian
A true blue dinky di Aussie.
This song stirs the emotions n visions of my grand parents who were born in Victoria n crossed Australia as a young couple with one child in 1903 n worked a farm in Pingelly n in 1920 they walked his horses, chatells n family n workmen to Newdegate where the Govt gave him land n as Slim said they crossed the country n cleared the land.
i like this kind of song`s
i like australia... 🙂
Goose bumps on me. I am an American who loves listening to Slim sing for his country people.
this song is an embodiment to what Australia used to be, but its hard to see that same spirit these days
Songs like this makes me feel proud to be an Aussie
🇬🇧 Two Hundred Years 🇦🇺
absolutely love this song and Slim...from a Kiwi.. ANZAC proud
Good old Slim. Im a English man born in London. Im going to a friends wedding in London who is English born. He went to Australia and worked hard but has returned and met a English lady. We have all travelled and his family are Irish and landed in the Uk. So many people leave their land. Dusty is a legend who sings from the heart. This song could be about Irish leaving or English. What Im trying to say is Im from Irish family but London born worked in Oz too. God bless Australia and all who have landed to make their home. What a country, God bless you all and Slim too
He is one of a kind beautiful keep singing ol mate

To be played at my farewell party Aussie that 👏👍💕
i love this song slim dusty was a true country singer im proud off slim may god bless him and he was a true Austrilian
2020 Slim👍You up there singing with all the ppl , have a dance with me Nan walker 4 me if you don't mind 😢
This is a national respecting song by a well known national legend!
Slim didn't write this song BUT nobody could sing it better!!!!!
Correct. Graeme Connors wrote it and sings an absolutely beautiful version of it also. But this was written for Dusty to sing and will always be his. 💕 Graeme has the highest level of respect for Dusty, wrote a lot of songs for him over the years.
what a wonderful song. great words!
Dont yu just wish we could go back to the country Slim sang so eloquently about.
We have all been robbed hard, by extremly corrupt politicians and sleep walking punters
Another one of my favorites.
Beautiful, love all his music
Im not an Aussie but this song hits hard, been listening to Slim Dusty for a long while now and his songs and stories makes me shred in tears. Its my 4 months here in Australia and I have been enjoying staying here!
I often wonder if slim was alive today what he would think how this once great nation is going down to a third world country we are becoming
Slim kept our politicians honest. If they didn’t he’d pull them into gear via his musician talent N the WIDE AUDIENCE HE COOLD RREACH. I WONDER WHAT HE WOULD HAVE TO SAY ABBOUT OUR CURRENT CROP TODDAY.
@@pamelahurd248 I reckon he would cry today seeing his country the way it is
Rest In Peace slim, you’ve done us proud xx
had the Pleasure of driving to QLD up at Kempsie NSW, On the Pacific Highway you will come across the Slim Dusty Interchange, What a great honour to a great man
So few people who still appreciate great music
