We played this song at dad's funeral. Nearly everyone had tears in their eyes. Dad absolutely loved Slim's songs and when he wasn't playing them he would be playing the mouth organ to his songs. RIP both
My Dad just died earlier today. It's now late and I'm picking through a few songs. When I was a boy he gave me a Slim Dusty cassette titled 'Australiana' and told me that my Grandad sometimes went fishing with Slim Dusty. I didn't know this song before today but I think I shall play it at his funeral.
Hei! I do not know you. I just want to tell you that my friend Bertil listen on Slim Dusty when he lived in Australia picking opals and his wife Birgit "Biggan" were there to. She died last year and now he is fighting for his life because of covid 19 - corona in the hospital. I still have not giving up hope that he will survive. He is over 85 years old.
@@bennjykerridge1381 Thks for your kind words Bennjy, they come from a good heart. And prompt me to recall those good times and beers together... I really appreciate that.
1979 and Slim visited my primary school. Insignificant school in a forgettable country town. He sang and then stayed and signed autographs. One for every, single kid that asked for one. A gracious and genuine performer from another time.
I feel the same way you feel the way you have loads of tears the way you hear this song from a Aussie singing legend slim dusty who left peacefully in 2003 right months after he met the wiggles RIP SLIM the Aussies and me will miss you forever
What a true Australian Legend. He highlighted the best in us, family, friends and the true Aussie spirit of your handshake was your bond. He made you proud to be an Aussie.
I concur! Slim Dusty was a true Australian Legend. He embodied the true Australian Values of Mate-ship, a Fair Go, Ambivalence to Authority and the never - say - die attitude that makes Australia known the world over as "The Lucky Country". Slim Dusty, Farewell! You will be missed!
❤ my grandmother too. She had a hard life. Lived through the depression working on a farm, two forced adoptions, divorced single mother who raised my mother and aunty with no support. Booted out of her church for being divorced. Worked every job she could to buy a house. Her home was my home most weekends listening to slim while preserving fruit, cooking , tending to hens and her veggies garden. Miss her❤
This was my one of my fathers favourite songs. on the 3/3/16 at 9.15 am I played this for him as I sat next to him in hospital. I listened and watched the video with him for my first time. as soon as it finnished he passed. how many people get to end on that note. miss you dad.
Yeah lost me old man to cancer and he loved Slim so same effect when i hear it just a great tune with lyrics of wisdom and reflection. To the old boys!
All the people ihave met on my journey and life thankyou for the Fun the love and Experience they say People come in your life for lessons or teach them or they you teach them something.Ihave been truly blessed love you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My father-in-law passed away a few days ago and his older brothers were also friends of Slim when Slim very young. We have selected this song for the funeral
I remember my Pop always loved to listen to Slim Dusty, in his last years he slowly died from a brain tumour listening to him, it's something that kept him calm and happy. I miss my Pop so much honestly, I pray all the time that he's okay. He really loved Slim Dusty though. He was such a kind and nice person. I miss you Pop, rip ❤️❤️
I never liked country music, but i had a good meal/drinks/k night with some real good mates, this song seemingly saved me from terrible suicidal thoughts. That was 2 years ago. I now share this song with workmates who are depressed,but and over the last year since sharing/mentioning this song they have become so much brighter. Thanks slim !
What an absolute legend! I'm so sad i never got to meet Slim. I was introduced to his music too late. As soon as i heard the first song i was hooked. He tells every aussie's story through poetry in his music. Just about every song brings a tear to my eye. RIP Slim. You live on in so many people's hearts.
It's almost haunting. In a beautiful way. It makes you treasure the life you have lived and appreciate those in your life who have made it what it is/was and will be in the future, after we all still have "a long way left to go".
Listen to slim everyday he brings everyone together always will first heard him play at Tamworth in the 90's and cried when he passed was in my room as boy playing my guitar to country mile when my grandmother came and told me slims gone mate and I cried and haven't stopped playing him music still 20 years still no matter where your from and how your raised slim has a story that can make you relate wish more Australia music was like this and our country was like it used to be miss ya slim hope you and my grandmother are up there yarning and having a great time 🙏
Love slim dusty his music is so heart touching. I picked looking forward looking back for my mum's funeral she died so sudden... Barbara goodridge was 54 when she died. Rip mum
I love this song, I am now 60 years old and lyrics sum up my life, I have had heartaches,and many blessings ,made decisions that I thought were right at the time,and even though I have paid a high price for those decisions I still believe that they were right.
i was going to high school when slim died, and as you all know crying at high school for a guy is blasphemy but i still shed tears, Like if you did to.
My husband was a big fan of Silm as am I we p.ayed this at his funeral as we played his life in pictures i miss him every day but I know he's here with in spirit thanks for this beautiful song.😢😢😢😢
Anyone else remember watching this along with all the other slim music vids at their grandparents when they were rlly young, my pop is dying and this and all of slims other songs will forever bring my grandpa back to me🥰
although I never met this great man, his music makes me feel like I have known him all my life....you will be missed...and you will always be a legend in australian country music, and for that matter the world stage...sleep peacefully slim.
I haven’t sung this song since I was a kid, it was my grandfather’s favourite song..realising I got my love for violins in music from him.. yeh..wow. Crying cause realising how much I miss him.
This song always brings a tear to my eye it was the song played at my grandads funeral and every time I hear it it’s like I’m with him again and for that I have to thank slim rip slim and mel

I’m really sad today 😢😞 I’ll be going to my grandfather’s funeral this Friday. And I currently live in Katherine NT but going to make my way this week to Fitzroy Crossing for his funeral. 😢 He always listens to this song 🎶 ❤
Who doesn't like slim over decades he s been at the pinicle of country music lots of artists have modelled their carers on him troy.cassa ect Lee keen just to name a couple love ya slim beautiful song lookn forwards lookn back lm a rock musician but l have followed his career iconic dean
Slim Dusty was a legend. There will never be anyone like him. A great country singer, who was humble, righteous, and always put others first. I first saw him when I was about 10 years of age, when he used to come every year and sing in the Narrandera RSL hall, with the Slim Dusty Show. I saw other live shows in later years. He was an inspiration to other singers. With the new very good singers today, no one can come up with his style. I know they never will. God bless Slim Dusty in Heaven.
They took my dad out to the waiting hearse too a selection of slim dusty songs and this one was played and every time i hear it i end up sobbing my heart out such a strong song suited for the old bushies
Played at my fathers graveside service 01 April 2016 . Played to day in rememberance of my Father ...Tom Aitken who passed 8 years back today 28th March 2016 Miss ya heaps Dad
I might only be 12 but ever since my dad got me into slim when I was 4 I’ve lived all my older songs and listening to these remind me of when I lived with my dad and mum we would sing slims songs all the time we all miss him R.I.P slim
I remember as a kid my grandad used to play slim dusty on his cassette player while I played with my toys on the ground. Never knew how amazing Slim’s music was. Grandads still with us listening to Slim, we both enjoy a beer in his backyard listening to this song
I went and saw Slim Dusty with my parents and my Granny we loved it in Parkes RSL, we loved it, unfortunately since only my Dad and I are left, but we loved it
We played this at my pops funeral 12 years ago roughly . My pop loved slim . I was thinking of him so I played this song for the first time since his passing . RIP Pop.
What a great song! I only heard this for the first time at a bushwalking mate's funeral a few months ago. It gave me tingles up the spine. Very moving and appropriate at the time. Glad I found it here. I'd love to learn it.
This is the first time I have seen this film clip. Thanks for posting it up, it was about 6 years ago I got into Slim's music. Wish I had seen the man himself in concert. RIP Slim, thank you for all the music you made. Truelly the best to ever come out of Australia. I am proud to be a Aussie.
As a traditional I always listen to Australian music on Australia Day I asked my 25 year old nephew to pick a Aussie song and he picked.this what a great nephew I have
old slim mate even after so long u had tears slowly coming down my face this is song that has touched my heart n this is one song that will long live in my heart & memory as one as your last & greatest songs

The truest Australian there has ever been. Slim is now a shining star in the sky.

Nungurner Jetty sorry to hear about your old man... I bet you had some good times and beers together no better song to commemorate your dad 🍻🍻
This was one of my pops funeral songs and as I’m writing this I’m crying I’ve had a few beers but it’s such a beautiful song 💗

She died last year and now he is fighting for his life because of covid 19 - corona in the hospital. I still have not giving up hope that he will survive. He is over 85 years old.
The thing that worries me is when people don't have the conviction to have a Real Name

As a young girl growing up in a small outback town, I loved it everytime the Slim Dusty Show came to town thank you for the memories
I saw Slim Dusty and Joy McKean and their daughter Anne Kirkpatrick at my home town too, in the 70s. Was such as treat.
I Guess you're a good country MUSIC lover what your favorite song of lee?
My grandmother used to cry while listening to this song. And now I cry listening to this song because it reminds me so much of her 💔🥹

The only person to have gold with 78, 45,33 1/3, cassette, 8 track CD and DVD. You bloody champ Slim.
We need Slim now more than ever. We’ve lost the fabric of our nation. Slims songs are Australia, brings a tear to your eye in 2022.
It's no better in 2023 we need old slim back
So bloody true this country is going backwards
And 2023😢
2024 and beyond..sadly the west has given up on its true foundations. Blame ourselves. Liberalism/Islam/UN
this always makes me cry. what a beautiful man and a true australian.
Ten years on. He's still looking on. Up in the great balcony
So many memories as this was played at my parents funerals. Miss you mum and dad. You are finally together again.

The only king of country music in my eyes.
all the others can try but never meet slims standards.
R.I.P. slim
He IS the king of country.

He had a young apprentice who turned out a thorough gentleman like the master he plays a mean guitar
Slim will live on in our hearts forever with his music, a great man,
