[drsym74]

Such a great story - love it. Still so relevant today, so little people able to stand for what they believe - what a amazing feel good song that I'm sure my generation (due to many long roads with only one casesette can understand) will appreciate,,,

[MikeQCA1]

Wow!! I just ran across this epic poem...sung with such beauty by Slim Dusty. You could feel the ground quiver and hear the pounding of the hooves as he sang this. Bravo Slim Dusty!!!

[Creepershockstudios]

@NTRodeoGal my gf sang it word for word no pauses

[NTRodeoGal]

Only a true aussie can sing this song word for word and remember everyline without pause!!

[stormysrider]

[blackrangr]

[spearobuckshot]

This poem makes the hair on my neck go up. I love it. My parents read it to from when I was knee high. Slim does it beautifully too.

[MrBobbyDan]

I have an original CD of this Album signed by Slim, a tresured part of my collection of Country Music.

[aussietruckieian]

Have heard other versions but Slims is by far the best- so natural thanks Slim!!

[capehorner1940]

A great story and told so well by Slim

[MsArcticRose]

I'm remember having to remember this poem in high school but i can't remember the words

[azzatempo1]

@MsArcticRose enjoy it my friend

[blinkstabill]

brilliantly done by Australias greatest in the music industry no one will ever be as good as Slim was

[Kennychan222]

I LOVE THIS SONG!! I will have a roadtrip from MElbourne to Sydney and i will visit Snowy Mountain and also the location where the man is from. "Banjo" Paterson's best poem is Duke Nukem here

[Mitchmitchellmitch]

Love slim

[asbpab1966]

"American Pie" by Don McClean is longer.

[MsAnangu]

Is it true that the Man From Snowy River came from some Aboriginal decent.

[EarlJohn61]

@MsAnangu It is unknown, (but possible). Banjo Patterson did not identify who the rider was and there has been much discussion ever since as to who he was.

[Kennychan222]

@EarlJohn61 Duke Nukem's Ancenstor Is the Man from Snowy River before moving to the states!

[TheMagzstar]

ewwww

[TheMagzstar]

[utefreak88]

When I was a kid,often i'd be chucked off. My old man alawys said to me . Be a man and jump back on.lol. He was right.When ya down get up. ride again. Bless ya Slim

[mystiquesword]

nice piece!

the longest song i know about is "the poet & the pendulem" by nightwish. which is 13.15 & second-longest is "ghost love score" also by nightwish at 10.03.(approx.) both excellent balleds.

[wingchun1976]

@mystiquesword try "rime of the ancient mariner" by the mighty Iron Maiden. It comes in at 13:37. Epic!

[carolinehuddo]

What an incredible poem.....last week it was recited off by heart and to perfection at my Grandpa's funeral by his brother. My Grandpa loved to catch brumbies and once "borrowed" the neighbours racehorse to catch the brumbies....to which he lost and went on an adventure to find the horse, and so became the Man from Snowy River. RIP Papa.

[peterhoudtvancindy]

Thanks dude , great song 

[boofheadrules]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Restlessjohn]

"Banjo" Paterson's best poem! I've always wanted to hear this as a song and Dear Ol' Slim Dusty has obliged brilliantly.

Thanks Slim, RIP, still loved and still missed!

[samcashmooney]

This is a timeless Aussie poem and sung brilliantly by our greatest ever.

[123wolven]

a good song from a good poet sung by an extrodenry singer it don't get any better then this fellow aussies so lets enjoy what we have until we get swamped by america and the outside world completely

[isitjusticeorjustus]

if this is the longest song you have ever heard you must not have heard many songs! November rain is nearly 9 minutes and a couple dire straits songs go 8 minutes the longest song if heard would of ran about 13 minutes...

[RayBushfox]

This is good, there will never be another Slim Dusty, but I prefer the version of this song by 'Wallis and Matilda' from their 'Pioneers' album.

[mickderigger]

A legend in his own time

[Michaeltot1]

margatelad: Slim Dusty 1927- 2003

[mangomonkey65]

[EarlJohn61]

@margatelad Sadly Slim died in 2003, But he's still singing (every time you listen to one of his songs)

[TheShellby68]

[barrowvalley]

Great interpretation of a very LONG song from Slim. I love it!

[rakshasa7]

Ick. Too bloody jolly. Wallis and Matilda's version was far better.

[krankiev]

hmmm this song doesn't sound like this at all on my cassette tape. different version maybe? i don't remember the lyrics but the tune seems different

[psaltseller]

Different key and fewer backing instruments? Great sound, but aren't his all?

[664ever]

Thanx a bunch, that's ever so great.

[WalterAurora]

I just listened to this on tape and came searching for it, thanks so much!
