Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHIHHI HAHABDBD JGJGKIKKI LMLMNONO MIJJIGGGIAcross the Queensland border line | A |
The mobs of cattle go | B |
They travel down in sun and shine | A |
On dusty stage and slow | B |
The drovers riding slowly on | C |
To let the cattle spread | D |
Will say Here's one old landmark gone | E |
For old man Tyson's dead | D |
What tales there'll be in every camp | F |
By men that Tyson knew | G |
The swagmen meeting on the tramp | F |
Will yarn the long day through | G |
And tell of how he passed as Brown | H |
And fooled the local men | I |
But not for me I struck the town | H |
And passed the message further down | H |
That's T Y S O N | I |
- | |
There stands a little country town | H |
Beyond the border line | A |
Where dusty roads go up and down | H |
And banks with pubs combine | A |
A stranger came to cash a cheque | B |
Few were the words he said | D |
A handkerchief about his neck | B |
An old hat on his head | D |
- | |
A long grey stranger eagle eyed | J |
Know me Of course you do | G |
It's not my work the boss replied | J |
To know such tramps as you | G |
Well look here Mister don't be flash | K |
Replied the stranger then | I |
I never care to make a splash | K |
I'm simple but I've got the cash | K |
I'm T Y S O N | I |
- | |
But in that last great drafting yard | L |
Where Peter keeps the gate | M |
And souls of sinners find it barred | L |
And go to meet their fate | M |
There's one who ought to enter in | N |
For good deeds done on earth | O |
One who from Peter's self must win | N |
That meed of sterling worth | O |
- | |
Not to the strait and narrow gate | M |
Reserved for wealthy men | I |
But to the big gate opened wide | J |
The grizzled figure eagle eyed | J |
Will saunter up and then | I |
Old Peter'll say Let's pass him through | G |
There's many a thing he used to do | G |
Good hearted things that no one knew | G |
That's T Y S O N | I |
