The well heeled
can’t afford inner
balm with...

OLDE CHARLIE part two

A simple g’day and not much more,
A man of simple tastes and trends,
Mostly seen most days
Three days growth on chin,

Came from the olde school,
Of the way he thought
And reacted to...

Grabbed onto ole Carruthers and booted...

Bring out your white, bring out your red,
Bring out the grapevine's daughter,

We'll drink it down like water,

Pour it cold, pour it cool,
Pour it a little hotter,
Fill the glass - the golden...

He carried a pistol on his hip
And a cross of gold hung slack
