[00:00.00]Clancy Of The Overflow - John Schumann
[00:17.50]I had written him a letter which I had
[00:21.64]For want of better
[00:23.22]Knowledge sent to where
[00:25.39]I met him down the Lachlan years ago
[00:28.64]
[00:31.00]He was shearing when I knew him
[00:33.10]
[00:33.94]So I sent the letter to him
[00:36.57]Just on spec addressed as follows
[00:39.17]
[00:39.80]Clancy of the overflow
[00:41.91]
[00:44.18]And an answer came directed
[00:46.41]
[00:47.13]In a writing unexpected
[00:49.79]And I think the same was written
[00:52.25]
[00:53.04]With a thumbnail dipped in tar
[00:55.40]
[00:57.59]His shearing mate who wrote
[00:59.63]
[01:00.42]Verbatim I will quote it
[01:03.00]Clancy's gone to queensland droving
[01:05.60]
[01:06.37]And we don't know where he are
[01:08.51]
[01:10.78]In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of clancy
[01:16.01]
[01:16.70]Gone a droving down the cooper
[01:18.74]
[01:19.56]Where the western drovers go
[01:21.81]
[01:24.09]As the stock are slowly stringing
[01:26.61]Clancy rides behind them singing
[01:29.19]
[01:29.94]For the drover's life has pleasures
[01:32.16]
[01:32.94]That the townsfolk never know
[01:34.97]
[01:40.23]And the bush hath friends to meet him
[01:42.45]
[01:43.11]And their kindly voices greet him
[01:45.28]
[01:46.13]In the murmur of the breezes
[01:48.29]
[01:49.07]And the river on it's bars
[01:51.43]
[01:53.53]And he sees the vision splendid
[01:55.62]
[01:56.42]Of the sunlit plains extended
[01:59.00]And at night the wondrous glory
[02:01.60]
[02:02.35]Of the everlasting stars
[02:04.53]
[02:24.24]I am sitting in my dingy little office where a stingy
[02:29.81]Ray of sunlight struggles feebly down
[02:33.55]Between the houses tall
[02:35.32]
[02:37.67]And the foetid air and gritty of the dusty dirty city
[02:42.70]
[02:43.54]Through the open window floating
[02:45.69]
[02:46.36]Spreads it's foulness over all
[02:48.33]
[02:50.61]And in place of lowing cattle
[02:53.07]
[02:53.85]I can hear the fiendish rattle
[02:56.16]
[02:56.85]Of the tramways and the buses
[02:59.08]
[02:59.69]Making hurry down the street
[03:01.86]
[03:04.20]And the language uninviting
[03:06.30]
[03:07.10]Of the gutter children fighting
[03:09.21]
[03:10.07]Comes fitfully and faintly
[03:12.43]
[03:13.06]Through the ceaseless tramp of feet
[03:15.21]
[03:20.31]And the hurrying people daunt me
[03:22.55]
[03:23.31]Their pallid faces haunt me
[03:25.50]
[03:26.07]As they shoulder one another
[03:28.14]
[03:29.03]In their rush and nervous haste
[03:31.61]
[03:33.66]With their eager eyes and greedy
[03:35.76]
[03:36.66]Their stunted forms and weedy
[03:38.69]
[03:39.72]Townsfolk have no time to grow
[03:42.14]
[03:42.87]Have no time to waste
[03:44.62]
[03:49.82]And I'd somehow rather fancy
[03:51.97]
[03:52.74]That I'd like to change with clancy
[03:54.88]
[03:56.06]The take turn at droving
[03:57.79]
[03:58.67]Where the seasons come and go
[04:00.79]
[04:03.13]While he faced the round eternal
[04:05.09]
[04:05.98]Of the cashbook and the journal
[04:08.60]Yeah I'd doubt he'd suit the office
[04:11.02]
[04:11.84]Clancy of the overflow
