I see him still ole Dribbler Bill, his frame as hard as 
gidgee,
He drove the mail on Bridal Tracks in country soft & 
rigid,
Never had too much to say but when he did was just a 
drawl,
And ya' kinda got the feelin', he'd be handy in a 
brawl.

His Leyland truck was like ole Bill, gusty, rough and 
slow.
He took that truck through country where a dozer 
wouldn't go,
Yeah, but he's been bogged down tyre deep, back in 
Coober Hole,
When others turned their trucks around and headed back 
for home.

Now old Bill would do those little things for bush folk 
far from town,
Had a memory like Sir Sydney, never wrote the items 
down,
Newspapers he would put inside, mailbox on the ridge,
And every stop along the way, had somethin' for the 
kids.

He was seen to be a lonely man like one deprived of 
luck,
An outward sign did only make was that old Leyland 
truck,
He'd caress that smooth ole steerin' wheel, ease along 
the track,
The last words that I heard him say was, "See ya later 
Jack."

[Instrumental]

Now the mail still serves the far outback, the jobs 
they handle fine,
But mem'ries dwell on Dribbler Bill way back in '39,
I remember every mail night, the excitement and the 
thrill,
As we sat outside and waited for the likes of Dribbler 
Bill.

Oh, there's many times he helped us out when tucker got 
real slack.
Like fresh meat from the bullocks secured from 
somewhere up the track,
Yeah, great old man was Dribbler Bill the kind who'd 
always stick,
And he'd risk his life without a thought for the needy 
and the sick. Hey!

Now I'd like to think that Dribbler Bill still has the 
wheel in hand,
Pushin' that old Leyland truck throughout that channel 
land,
Should there be no trucks in heaven, it's a halo to a 
pup,
Just give old Bill a day or two and he'll start a mail 
run up.
Yeah so long Bill.
