Flash Jack From Gundagai Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA B CCDE DEAA E FFAA EEAAI've shore at Burrabogie and I've shore at Toganmain | A |
I've shore at big Willandra and upon the old Coleraine | A |
But before the shearin' was over I've wished myself back again | A |
Shearin' for old Tom Patterson on the One Tree Plain | A |
- | |
Chorus | B |
- | |
All among the wool boys | C |
Keep your wide blades full boys | C |
I can do a respectable tally myself whenever I like to try | D |
But they know me round the back blocks as Flash Jack from Gundagai | E |
- | |
I've shore at big Willandra and I've shore at Tilberoo | D |
And once I drew my blades my boys upon the famed Barcoo | E |
At Cowan Downs and Trida as far as Moulamein | A |
But I always was glad to get back again to the One Tree Plain | A |
- | |
Chorus All among the wool c | E |
- | |
I've pinked 'em with the Wolseleys and I've rushed with B bows too | F |
And shaved 'em in the grease my boys with the grass seed showing through | F |
But I never slummed my pen my lads whate'er it might contain | A |
While shearin' for old Tom Patterson on the One Tree Plain | A |
- | |
I've been whalin' up the Lachlan and I've dossed on Cooper's Creek | E |
And once I rung Cudjingie shed and blued it in a week | E |
But when Gabriel blows his trumpet lads I'll catch the morning train | A |
And I'll push for old Tom Patterson's on the One Tree Plain | A |
