Testi

I went broke in western Queensland in 1931
Nobody would employ me so my swaggy days begun
I headed out through Charleville to the western towns
I was on my way to Roma, destination Darling Downs
Hey my pants were getting ragged, my shoes were getting thin
And when we stopped at Minchin a goods train shouted in
The engine blew a whistle, I was looking, I could see
She was on her way to Roma, that was very plain to me
And I was shed, I was sixteen stone and only seven foot tall
I'd go back to western Queensland and beat up Sergeant Small
As I sat and watched her inspiration seemed to grow
And I remembered the government slogan
"It's the railway that you own"
So by this time the sun was setting and night was growing nigh
So I gathered my belongings and I caught her on the fly
And as we came into Roma I kept my head down low
I heard a voice saying "Any roommates?" and I answered "Plenty, bo"
Then up stepped this noble man, the voice of Sergeant Small
He said "I've tracked you very nicely and you're headed for a fall"
And I was shed, I was sixteen stone and only seven foot tall
I'd go back to western Queensland and beat up Sergeant Small
The judge was very kind to me, he gave me thirty days
He said maybe that would help to cure my reckless jumping ways
So if you're down and outback let me tell you what I think
Just stay off the Queensland railway, it's a shortcut to the clink
And I was shed, I was sixteen stone and only seven foot tall
I'd go back to western Queensland and beat up Sergeant Small
I'd go back to western Queensland and beat up Sergeant Small
Man, man, stay away from that north
