Verse 1
B
It was somewhere in September
F#
and the sun was goin' down
When I came in search of copy,
B
to a Darling River town
Come- And- Have- A- Drink we'll call it,
F#
'tis a fitting name I think
And 'twas raining, for a wonder,
up at Come- And- Have- A- Drink
B
Verse 2
E
Underneath the pub verandah
B
I was resting on a bunk
C#
When a stranger rose before me,
F#
and he said that he was drunk
B
He apologised for speaking,
F#
there was no offence he swore
But he somehow seemed to fancy
B
that he'd seen my face before
He agreed you can't remember all
F#
the chaps you chance to meet
And he said his name was Sweeney,
people lived in Sussex Street
B
Verse 3
He was camping in a stable,
F#
that he swore that he was right
Only for the blanky horses
B
walkin' over him all night
E
He'd apparently been fighting,
B
for his face was black and blue
C#
And it looked as though the horses
had been treading on him too
F#
Verse 4
B
But an honest genial twinkle in the
F#
eye that wasn't hurt
Seemed to hint of something better,
B
F#
B
spite of drink and rags and dirt
He was born in Parramatta and
F#
he said with humour grim
That he'd like to see the city,
B
'ere the liquor finished him
But he couldn't raise the money,
F#
he was damned if he could think
What the Government was doing here,
he offered me a drink
B
Verse 5
I declined, 'twas self- denial and
F#
I lectured him on booze
Using all the hackneyed arguments
B
that preachers mostly use
Things I'd heard in temperance lectures,
F#
I was young and rather green
And I ended by referring to
the man he might have been
B
Verse 6
E
But he couldn't stay to argue,
B
for his beer was nearly gone
C#
He was glad, he said, to meet me,
F#
and he'd see me later on
B
But he guessed he'd have to go
F#
and get his bottle filled again
And he gave a lurch and vanished
B
in the darkness and the rain
Verse 7
B
Now of afternoons in cities,
F#
when the rain is on the land
Visions come to me of Sweeney,
B
E
with his bottle in his hand.
