andy irvine - sergeant small كلمات أغنية

i went broke in western queensland in nineteen thirty one
n0body would employ me and my swag carrying days begun
i started out through charleville and all the western towns
i was on me way to roma destination darling downs

me pants was getting ragged and me boots was a_getting thin
and as i came into mitch_ll the goods train shunted in
i could hear her whistle blowing it was mighty plain to see
she was on her way to roma or so it seemed to me

[chorus]
i wish i was about twenty stone and only seven feet tall
i’d go back to western queensland and beat up sergeant small

now as i sat and watchеd her inspiration’s seeds were sown
i rеmembered the government slogan: ‘here’s a railway that you own’
and as the sun was getting low and the night was coming nigh
i shouldered my belongings and i took her on the fly

and as we came into roma i kept me head down low
heard a voice say “any room mate?” i answered “plenty ‘bo”
“come out of there me little man” ‘twas the voice of sergeant small
“i have caught you very nicely – you’ve been riding for a fall”

[chorus]
i wish i was about twenty stone and only seven feet tall
i’d go back to western queensland and beat up sergeant small
the old judge was very nice to me he gave me thirty days
saying “maybe that will help to cure your rattler_jumping ways”
so if you’re down and out in the outback boys i’ll tell yez what i think
steer clear of the queensland railway it’s a short cut to the clink

[chorus]
i wish i was about twenty stone and only seven feet tall
i’d go back to western queensland and beat up sergeant small
