Don Johnson Poet Ballad

Mulga Mick

Mulga Mick

The ice was thick round Mulga Mick,
His thoughts were in disorder,
Shiela had gone off with another chick,
Got the “Raw Prawn” bloody sort of,

His car had died when a Roo he tried,
To eat the old cars number plate,
Death slapped down, upon the Roo applied,
Destroyed the water radiator,

So staggering through the ice an snow,
Was poor ole Mulga Mick,
He wore the Roo hide, wrapped you know,
Pocket knife had skinned it quick.

Roo tail soup for Mulga Mick,
Before he walked away,
He staggered back to the township,
Catch a new lady is the only way.

Don Johnson

John, when your girl runs off with another girl, 
you feel like you've been given a raw prawn. aussie slang ...

Tony, like mcguyver you have to use what's available to survive....
