CYRIL DUNCAN Hawthorne Qld Recorded Tune: Horseferry Road
Pint Pot & BillyI dined with the swells in famed Piccadilly,Took tea with my cousins in Horsemonger Lane, And now I stranded on my own native shore, I'll go back to Australia to the goldfields again. When I asked for a nobbler they asked what I meant, Sir, I called them all 'new chums' and that served them right Oh dear, don't I sigh for my favourite old stock horse, I had when droving on One Man Plain. A mountain flash rider, a son of Old Scroggins, Oh dear, don't I wish I was back there again. Oh don't you remember Ben Hall and his troupe, sir, Who stuck up the escort and well-guarded mail? And about that wretch Morgan, I could yet relate, Sir, But history would serve me to tell a sad tale, Then give me Australia with my pint, pot and billy, Making tea in the shade of the gum tree again. |
