Sergeant Small - Weddings Parties Anything[00:00:02]
I went broke in western[00:00:27]
Queensland in 1931 [00:00:28]
Nobody would employ me[00:00:31]
So my swaggy days begun[00:00:33]
I headed out to Charleville [00:00:35]
Out to the western towns [00:00:37]
I was on my way to Roma [00:00:39]
Destination Darling Downs[00:00:41]
And my pants were getting ragged [00:00:44]
My shoes were getting thin [00:00:46]
When we stopped in Mitchell [00:00:48]
A goods train shunted in [00:00:50]
The engine blew her whistle [00:00:52]
I was looking up to see [00:00:54]
She was on her way to Roma [00:00:57]
That was very plain to me [00:00:59]
I wished that I was 16[00:01:02]
Stone and only seven foot tall [00:01:04]
I'd go back to western Queensland [00:01:07]
And beat up Sergeant Small [00:01:09]
As I sat and watched her [00:01:14]
Inspiration seemed to grow [00:01:15]
And I remembered the government slogan [00:01:17]
"It's a railway that you own"[00:01:19]
So by the time the sun was setting [00:01:21]
And night was going nigh [00:01:23]
So I gathered my belongings[00:01:26]
And I caught her on the fly [00:01:28]
And as we came into Roma [00:01:31]
I tucked my head down low [00:01:33]
And a voice said "any room mate "[00:01:35]
And I answered "Plenty Beu"[00:01:37]
Then at this tip this noble man [00:01:39]
The voice of Sergeant Small [00:01:41]
Said "I've trapped you very nicely [00:01:43]
You're headed for a fall"[00:01:45]
I wished that I was 16 stone[00:01:48]
And only seven foot tall [00:01:50]
I'd go back to western Queensland [00:01:53]
And beat up Sergeant Small [00:01:55]
The Judge was very kind to me [00:02:18]
He gave me thirty days [00:02:19]
He said "Maybe that would[00:02:21]
Help to cure my rattler jumping ways"[00:02:22]
So if your down and outback [00:02:25]
Let me tell you what I think [00:02:27]
Just stay off the Queensland railways [00:02:29]
It's a shortcut to the clink [00:02:32]
I wished that I was 16 stone[00:02:34]
And only seven foot tall [00:02:37]
I'd go back to western Queensland [00:02:39]
And beat up Sergeant Small [00:02:41]
I'd go back to western Queensland [00:02:44]
And beat up Sergeant Small[00:02:46]
