Cobb And Co Twitch (1993 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty
I’d like to sing a little song of praise
Of the Cobb & Co Twitch
And the countless ways
It’s put to use by poor and rich
So here’s to the grand old Cobb & Co Twitch
Don’t ask me how it got it’s name
They were using it long before Cobb & Co came
I believe ol’ Noah used a file and a twitch
And patched up his Ark with the Cobb & Co Twitch
You can build a shed or a yard or a gate
And you don’t need bolts or nails or mates
Just eight gauge wire and a barded twitch
And you’re in business with the Cobb & Co Twitch
Or if your car or your truck break down on the track
And you’re miles from a town in the far outback
You’d be surprised what a man can fix
In a time like that with a Cobb & Co Twitch
You can patch up a table or a bed or a chair
A veranda post or a broken stair
Why Use a saddle cloth and a Coolabah twitch
And set a ringers leg with the Cobb & Co Twitch
You can mend broken harness or the handle of a leg
Or a leaky ol’ tank or a stove that’s cracked
Why I even heard a tale about a wicked ol’ witch
Who mended her broom with the Cobb & Co Twitch
Well that’s just a few of the countless ways
We use the old twitch from day to day
So whatever you’re repairing it don’t matter which
Just remember this song of the Cobb & Co Twitch
Well now you’ve heard my little song of praise
Of the Cobb & Co Twitch and the countless ways
It’s put to use by poor and rich
So here’s to the grand old Cobb & Co Twitch
Here’s to the grand old Cobb & Co Twitch
