CYRIL DUNCAN Hawthorne Qld Recorded
The Death Of Alec RobertsonGo tell my dear old mother,Who resides Down in Geelong, That I've been badly injured, By those jockeys who rode wrong. My head does pain, my side does ache, I feel myself insane, If God would spare me just to see My dear Mother once again. But late that night she got a fright, The news to her did come, The was there I do declare, It was from her own dear son It was the railing horse that came down first, That caused a nasty fall And followed close by Silvermine, Who stumbled over all. The doom was caused by Vespier As there poor Alec lay And as he turned his head His poor face bled These words to me did say Go tell my dear old mother, Who resides Down in Geelong, That I've been badly injured, By those jockeys who rode wrong My head does pain, my side does ache I feel myself insane If God would spare me just to see My dear Mother once again. Now Mabber's rider's gone for all This day on Randwick Course In trying to win the Tattersal's Cup On his famous old black horse. |
