Poem
Sam came from Bollon on the Wallan S.W.Queensland Aus. Sam Mc Croon came from Bollon soon When he heard about old Galoon the Batey She was big an a Ox light in her sox And she loved her Irish Pp praety (potato) They married at once she was no dunce They tripped to the altar so fine The kangaroo dogs would bark twice or once (greyhounds used for catching kangaroo) Goannas cantered off with the wine…….damn gwanas… Religion came round to the poor little town They dropped in on poor old Batey The old shack floor was dirt and some more And they took Cockies joy, just lately…….(syrup) (Cockies = Aussie Farmers) Bronco Don appeared saw Batey in tears …….(my Dad Bronco Don ) Don cantered right amongst the religious Cracked his whip in their tent his anger did vent Demanded, got cans back prodigious Now Sam he did work for a man with a quirk One Colin Mc Farlan Okeefe He had Sam watching out in a paddock for work Under a sheet of iron for a sheep thief Old Sam he did sink down a sewerage trench deep When tripping across after the rain Bronco Don reefed him out, hosed him off poor old sheep And rescued him later again…………(Sam got swallowed up twice) Sam went to hospital with the flu for a week or two Had his singlet soaked to get it off For the hair on his chest had grown right through Water weakens a man he’d just scoff….(bit shy around water) Jimmy the lover came to call, banged upon her door Just come out little sweet Batey He said I’ve got bananas from the store She said there’s no body home, come lately… Jezebel McCroon slept in a room on a mattress of indian rubber Aren’t you afraid of Jimmy McDade the great charmer the lover Jez just said if I strip naked on the bed he won’t see me instead Won’t see me less I smile in the dark, He’ll sidestep away like a plover unfed Without a squeak or a squark…..Don Johnson
