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