The Red Devil

The Red Devil, Bronco Johnson in 75 I lived in Morningside, moved in a massage parlor girl 2 kids a Kangaroo dog and a white rat called Merle (Greyhound roo catcher) We had a druggie ambo man, so Wayne put her in his bed And they’d be a smoking weed, the Ambo and Mildred Of course she had a Bludger who lived on her wage of sin...(pimp) So Wayne chased him out to work used my stock whip on young Jim Seems she started working from the house, clients were coming in Commonwealth Police watched the place, we went to New Farm slim Jenny came to visit me and Wayne he had Estelle I worked at the Hacienda and the Jet club as well (Bouncer) Estelle was jealous, maybe Jane was on the side Estelle married a 21 year old, 42 the blushing bride Wayne went to the local café to get a burger feed Said how you doing Charlie Brown to a dark and swarthy weed Who said “I’m ok mate just take a plurry look,” Car load on the footpath, all his brothers and a chook (shiela) Rubbish dumped on the street, we had gone and seen Soon we had some furniture and a washing machine We shoved some fellas to get through, then in the boot she’d ride Discovered later it was new, plastic on the wringer side So Wayne went back to Charleville or maybe places north To fly across the flooded creeks, fast for all he’s worth (60mph) For the highway does a beckon, yes he’s still a driving on And I surely really miss him and I can’t believe he’s gone Don Johnson Wife stealing cousin Wayne died of prostate in 07 ?
