PINT POT AND BILLY (Anon) I dined with the swells in famed Piccadilly Took tea with my cousins in Horsemonger Lane And now I am stranded on my own native shore I'll go back to Australia to the goldfields again When I asked for a nobbler they asked what I meant, sir I called them all 'new chums' and that served them right Oh dear, don't I sigh for my famous stock horses I had when droving on One Man Plain A mountain flash rider, a son of old Scroggins Oh dear, don't I wish I was back there again Oh don't you remember Ben Hall and his troupe, sir Who stuck up the escort and well-guarded mail And about that wretch Morgan I could yet relate, sir But history would serve me to tell a sad tale Then give me Australia with my pint pot and billy Making tea in the shade of a gum tree again Youtube clip --Stewie.
