Tom: E major
Verse 1
Bb
It was somewhere in September
F
and the sun was goin' down
When I came in search of copy,
Bb
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
Bb
Verse 2
Eb
Underneath the pub verandah
Bb
I was resting on a bunk
C
When a stranger rose before me,
F
and he said that he was drunk
Bb
He apo logised for speaking,
F
there was no offence he swore
But he somehow seemed to fancy
Bb
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
Bb
Verse 3
He was camping in a stable,
F
that he swore that he was right
Only for the blanky horses
Bb
walkin' over him all night
Eb
He'd apparently been fighting,
Bb
for his face was black and blue
C
And it looked as though the horses
had been treading on him too
F
Verse 4
Bb
But an honest genial twinkle in the
Seemed to hint of something better,
Bb
F
Bb
spite of drink and rags and dirt
He was born in Parramatta and
That he'd like to see the city,
Bb
'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
Bb
Verse 5
I declined, 'twas self- denial and
Using all the hackneyed arguments
Bb
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
Bb
Verse 6
Eb
But he couldn't stay to argue,
Bb
for his beer was nearly gone
C
He was glad, he said, to meet me,
Bb
But he guessed he'd have to go
F
and get his bottle filled again
And he gave a lurch and vanished
Bb
in the darkness and the rain
Verse 7
Bb
Now of afternoons in cities,
F
when the rain is on the land
Visions come to me of Sweeney,
Bb
Eb
with his bottle in his hand.
