00:00Yeah, I feel like death warmed up, not in the best shape
00:17Croak as a dog mate, caught in this old scrape
00:21My body's a mess, like I've been through a storm
00:24With a bit of a wobbly tummy, don't feel so warm
00:28I reckon I'm coming down with something real bad
00:30Like a crawling cold or a fever, and it's driving me mad
00:34I'm cactus mate, yeah, I'm flat on my back
00:37I'm green round the gills, I'm being attacked
00:41But I'll pick up my boots, ain't no time to stall
00:45Gotta shake off this feeling, gotta give it my all
00:48Was up all night, counting sheep till dawn
00:59Had me tossing and turning, feeling so full on
01:02Got a tickle in my throat, like a devil's own laugh
01:06Pulled this old bronco, and now I'm feeling half
01:09In a ruckus now, like a bushfire so hot
01:12But I ain't gonna lay down, I'll give it a shot
01:16I'm cactus mate, yeah, I'm flat on my back
01:19I'm green round the gills, I'm being attacked
01:23But I'll pick up my boots, ain't no time to stall
01:27Gotta shake off this feeling, gotta give it my all
01:30But life is a journey, rough and wild
01:34I'll dance with the blues like an unruly child
01:37Ain't no doctor can fix this
01:39Out of mind, just a good life with mates
01:42And a little more time
01:45I'm cactus mate, yeah, I'm flat on my back
01:50I'm green round the gills, I'm being attacked
01:54But I'll pick up my boots, ain't no time to stall
01:57Gotta shake off this feeling, gotta give it my all
02:01So come on down to the corner and hear my tune
02:04Even if I'm crook, I'll be humming it soon
02:08Life's got its ups and downs, can't let it get me down
02:11I'll smile through the struggle, turn that frown around
02:15Oh, I'm cactus mate, but I'm still here to play
02:18With a heart full of blues, I'll fight another day
02:23On my gravestone, I want the words
02:28See, I told you I was sick
02:30Hey, oh, I'm cactus mate
02:38Oh, I'm cactus mate
02:38Oh, hey
02:44Oh, my God.
03:14Aum
