On The Road To Gundagai Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCC CCDC EEDC FFDC BBDC| Oh we started down from Roto when the sheds had all cut out | A |
| We'd whips and whips of Rhino as we meant to push about | A |
| So we humped our blues serenely and made for Sydney town | B |
| With a three spot cheque between us as wanted knocking down | B |
| - | |
| But we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai | C |
| The road to Gundagai Not five miles from Gundagai | C |
| Yes we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai | C |
| - | |
| Well we struck the Murrumbidgee near the Yanko in a week | C |
| And passed through old Narrandera and crossed the Burnet Creek | C |
| And we never stopped at Wagga for we'd Sydney in our eye | D |
| But we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai | C |
| - | |
| Oh I've seen a lot of girls my boys and drunk a lot of beer | E |
| And I've met with some of both chaps as has left me mighty queer | E |
| But for beer to knock you sideways and for girls to make you sigh | D |
| You must camp at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai | C |
| - | |
| Well we chucked our blooming swags off and we walked into the bar | F |
| And we called for rum an' raspb'ry and a shilling each cigar | F |
| But the girl that served the pizen she winked at Bill and I | D |
| And we camped at Lazy Harry's not five miles from Gundagai | C |
| - | |
| In a week the spree was over and the cheque was all knocked down | B |
| So we shouldered our Matildas and we turned our backs on town | B |
| And the girls they stood a nobbler as we sadly said Good bye | D |
| And we tramped from Lazy Harry's not five miles from Gundagai | C |
