I met Jack Ellis in town to day[00:00:05]
Jack Ellis my old mate Jack[00:00:08]
Ten years ago from the castlereagh[00:00:12]
We carried our swags together away[00:00:16]
To the never again out back[00:00:20]
To the never again out back[00:00:23]
He saw me first and he knew 'twas I[00:00:28]
The holiday swell he met[00:00:32]
Why have we no faith in each other oh why[00:00:35]
He made as though he would pass me by[00:00:39]
For he thought that I might forget[00:00:43]
Thought that I might forget[00:00:47]
He ought to have known me better than that[00:00:51]
By the tracks we tramped far out[00:00:54]
The sweltering scrub and the blazing flat[00:00:58]
When the heat came down through each old felt hat[00:01:02]
In the hell born western drought[00:01:06]
In the hell born western drought[00:01:09]
I asked him in for a drink with me[00:01:15]
Jack Ellis my old mate Jack[00:01:19]
But his manner no longer was careless and free[00:01:23]
He followed but not with the grin that he[00:01:26]
Wore always in days out back[00:01:30]
Wore always in days out back[00:01:34]
I tried to live in the past once more[00:01:38]
Or the present and past combine[00:01:42]
But the days between I could not ignore[00:01:45]
I couldn't but notice the clothes he wore[00:01:49]
And he couldn't but notice mine[00:01:53]
And he couldn't but notice mine[00:01:57]
He placed his glass on the polished bar[00:02:00]
And I'll see you again said he[00:02:04]
Then he hurried away through the crowded street[00:02:08]
And the rattle of buses and scrape of feet[00:02:12]
Seemed suddenly loud to me[00:02:15]
Seemed suddenly loud to me[00:02:19]
I met Jack Ellis in town to day[00:02:23]
Jack Ellis my old mate Jack[00:02:27]
Ten years ago from the castlereagh[00:02:31]
We carried our swags together away[00:02:34]
To the never again out back[00:02:38]
To the never again out back[00:02:42]
To the never again out back[00:02:46]
To the never again out back[00:02:50]
To the never again out back[00:02:53]
