I Must Have Good Terbaccy When I Smoke by Slim Dusty

I was talking to a swaggy yesterday
His beard was long his hair was silver grey
His dress was out of style but he wore a friendly smile
And here is what the old man had to say

You may think me most unusual my boy
When I tell you straight that I am stony broke
I tramp from year to year and Ill drink all kinds of beer
But I like to have good baccy when I smoke"

Now Ill show you this here old terbacco tin
The paint is gone the sides are dinted in
But its opened many a bottle in its wild and chequered life
And to me it has always been a friend
