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
