00:04Old Bernie went to the Philippines
00:09To gain his new young wife's hand in marriage
00:14Old Bernie was only 64 back then anyway
00:27So he needed a house sitter
00:30To care for his two dogs, one and pup
00:34Eleven chooks and two turkeys, yeah
00:38The turkey chasing buster
00:41That you all wore around the yard
00:44I laughed and laughed so hard
00:47I loved that dog by the time it came to leave
00:53Life's roads
00:58Life's roads
01:01And where they leave
01:03Where they leave
01:09Anyway, the pregnant dog had birthed in problems
01:13I buried her by her mother's grave
01:17Who had died, giving birth to hers
01:21So a sad ending for them both
01:24One of the tubes got bitten
01:27By a red-bellied black snake and died as well
01:32So the rest of the farm took my time
01:35Took my mind of the sad happenings before
01:40So time to buy
01:42Time to pick up Bernie
01:47From Brizzy Airport
01:55Cocktails, scorpions and children's at the gas pump
01:59Like a horror movie cover
02:03Like a horror movie cover
02:03Everything could hardly see the pumps
02:06Bernie stumbles
02:08Bernie stumbles out of the plane
02:11Drunk as a scum
02:17Life's roads
02:22Life's roads
02:24Life's roads
02:25Life's roads
02:26Life's roads
02:26And where they leave
02:27Where they leave
02:33By halfway back
02:36I was tired
02:37Bernie sobered up
02:40Took the wheel for a while
02:42Home we get
02:45Bernie pulls out
02:46Two overproof rum bottles
02:49Howling doing turkey calls drunk
02:56Wanted to fight
02:58So our cold next house
03:00Sit people in jimpy
03:01Camped in paddock
03:04Poor old Bernie
03:08Christian brother victim
03:10Led to the booze
03:13Led to the booze
03:19Still remember Buster and the turkeys
03:22Got a call from Bernie
03:25Buster bitten by
03:26Red belly black
03:28Miss Buster
03:29Good character
03:31Final
03:32Just another tale of
03:36Life's roads
03:38Life's roads
03:41And where they leave
03:43Where they leave
03:46They see
