Morton (song for tex) lyrics

Artist  : Weddings parties anything 
Song : Morton (song for tex)
 
(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.
