Thomas)
He stopped to change a tyre out near Warnambool,
His Chevy it was all over the road.
He pulled into town sometime in the early afternoon,
More than a normal travelling salesman, the guitar his only load.
And we were all there waitin', in the Colac hall,
Our little legs a-swinging 'neath the chairs,
But I just sucked a butter menthol and never once looked at the girls,
Would the 'Cat Come Back' like last time? I fell into despair.
But here's a go, let's catch the show and lay your money down,
Cause Morton's back in town.
And I still hear the way he played his old guitar,
And I still hear the way he sang those songs.
And I still hear his voice so crisp and clear above the crowd,
Do I remember? Am I joking?
Somehow it all just seems so strong.
And could he crack a whip?
You bet he could (don't you make me laugh!)
And could he tell a joke? He would make you cry.
And could he hypnotise and do a dance and spin a yarn?
You name it, he could do it with the winkin' of an eye!
But here's a go, let's catch the show and lay your money down,
Cause Morton's back in town.
Ain't it funny how time passes, how the years just slip away.
And the memories we have they play their games.
And now it's me who's strumming guitars,
Now it's me who's travelling round,
But somehow I get the feeling that it isn't quite the same...
For it was never quite this easy,
It was never quite this hard.
But it never made much sense to theorise,
When the show closed down you'd pack your things,
You'd soon be on your way.
First you see him, now you don't,
He'd be gone before your very eyes.
But here's a go, let's catch the show and lay your money down,
Cause Morton's back in town.
From the U.S.A. to Canada,
He played the roving clown,
Morton's back in town.
From Dunedin to Germany and on to Darling Downs.
Hey, Morton,
The Great Morton, Tex Morton!
Morton's back in town

Other Wedding Parties Anything song Lyrics
  • BIG RIVER
    "He came up from the country looking for a job of work,
    He came from a town that died a slow hard death,
    And when the train pulled into Spencer Street, he was fast asleep.
    He opened one eye and he took a long deep breath...."
  • BRUNSWICK
    "In the summer all the old men, they sit on their front porches,
    While the women comb their hair, shell their peas
    And wonder what they've missed.
    And the forlorn children scan the streets..."
  • GUN
    "A bunch of withered roses lie, a faded silhouette
    Caught you jumpin' in the deep end last night, but it hasn't happened yet.
    They're tying up your body with some rusty Number 8 and they say,
    Too early with your run, son...."
  • INDUSTRIAL TOWN
    "Down in the valley, the valley so low,
    Lay the town over and hear the winds blow,
    Lay the town over and dig it all in,
    For what we once had will not come again...."
  • MISSING IN ACTION
    "And after all this time why must you be
    Missing in action, missing in action?
    And after all these years why must you be
    Missing in action, missing in action?..."
  • SAY THE WORD
    "On a day not quite like any other
    In a land both warm and sweet,
    You were born such a proud, proud daughter
    A smirk on your face, the world at your feet...."
  • SISTERS OF MERCY
    "Oh the winds they were howlin' both ragged and cold
    Through the grey Melbourne streets in the pre-Christmas days,
    And the Sisters of Mercy looked out through their tents
    At the fires in petrol drums, they seemed to say..."
  • UNDER THE CLOCKS
    "Hey, hey, I see a Melbourne girl on a rusty Malvern Star,
    Through the spastic Northcote streets at dawn
    See the way her hair's tied back,
    Her cheeks so red, a grey coat ragged and worn...."
