HOMELESS MAN

(H. Robertson)

I've travelled hard these last ten weary years
And my boyhood hopes have slowly turned to fears
If you think I am complaining I can tell you that I'm not
For I know that this is just the drifter's lot

Many years my home has been the wayside camps
I have starved and sweated on the river banks
And I've fought with fists and feet, rough-necked drifters that I meet
Broken dreams and bottles line my weary path

As a homeless boy I thought when I'm a man
I'll change this world and right what wrongs I can
Since then I have met defeat, it's a bitter bread to eat
And the homeless boy is now a homeless man

Happiness has not been mine upon this earth
Both my parents left me when they mets their deaths
And I'll drink before I eat, with the drifters that I meet
The sorrow here is mine and mine alone

But I think my friends that I should move along
And I thank you all for listening to my song
For the road is all I've known and I'll wander it alone
As an outcast homeless drifter ... and unmourned

--- Sung by Eric Bogle on 'DOWN UNDER' (1981)
