I heard this song when I was stationed in South Korea in 1996. There was a television in the NCO club that sometimes showed Australian country music videos. I still sing it almost every time I drink a beer even though I haven't heard it in 21 years. Thank you Mr. Dusty for a song I'll carry around until the day I die. God rest his soul.

Slim likes his beers and friends. A wholesome guy....love him 😋

Rest In Peace slim dusty 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

First time hearing this song. Cheers 🍻 everyone 👍

Every time I hear this song I think of my dad.. his name is Kevin and it's one of his all time favourite songs.

Great song for a great legend. Rest in peace, Slim

Coz Dunkenz mi mate! Cheers from Germany!🍺🤙

*I am a Polish-Canadian .... and I love this Australian song, since I first heard it from the movie "On the beach" (1959) starring with: Ava Gardner, Gregory Peck & Fred Astaire.* ~ It is kinda climate of peace and harmony in this nice and natural melody of this song ~ *Go Aussies, go !!!!* :o))

Hearing my name Robert and the soothing country song is just great

Slim Dusty has great songs

From an instrumental point of view, I have always had an appreciation for the way of which Slim decided to 'Change Key' on his guitar just to add another simple but very professional element to the song itself. He makes it all sound so effortless as I'm sure you will agree!

Slim Dusty a true Aussie legend.

I'm in my mid 20s and I've loved this song ever since I first heard it on some radio station playing old songs.

This brought back my childhood. My grandpa used to play a whole lot of songs while we were in his car, but this one was by far my favourite.

My fathers name was kevin and his best mate was col. How appropriate. They have gone to heaven to have a beer with slim.

My Brother and I are 3 years apart, and grew up listening to this on our CD player while we fell asleep. We had always thought that our Dad knew Slim, and told him to put our names in the song; because our names aren’t super common going by the amount of people that I have met. My name is Robert, and my brothers name is Colin 😁. This song is still one of my favourites!

The ultimate Aussie drinking song.

RIP slim 16 years today we lost a legend rip old slim

I love this song so much. Mum and Dad had, ( I still have the 45). They got it when it came out. Dad was named Robert, but called Bob and 2 of Mum's brothers were Pat and Kevin, who I was close to. Great memories of playing this during family gatherings. Always a laugh. Times to remember. Would go back in a heart beat.

Wonderful Song One Of Slim's Very very best the old bloke Kevin at 1.03 looks exactly like a Kevin I used to Drink with in the late 1990s and Early 2000s! Also used to drink with a bloke called Bob too in A Pub In Port Melbourne! Love That Line "Just One More Then Back On The Job"!😀🤠🎙️🎸🎶🎵🎼🍺🍻🏚️🇦🇺

Kicking back here on the big beach at Gulf Shores. Listening to Slim. Several people have stopped by to ask who I'm listening to. I tell em and they tell others, Slims name will never fade. Well I'm off to the FloraBama to meet me mates and knock down a few sudsers. Keep it bonzer Aussies, God loves ya, Bama Boozin Bob does too.

A local wrote this song about having beers with mates at The Town & Country pub in St Peters, a suburb of Sydney. He mailed it to the PO Box listed on a Slim Dusty album. Slim didn't like it but his wife insisted he recorded it.. and the rest was history :)
