Verse 1
F
It was somewhere in September
C
and the sun was goin' down
When I came in search of copy,
Come- And- Have- A- Drink we'll call it,
C
'tis a fitting name I think
And 'twas raining, for a wonder,
up at Come- And- Have- A- Drink
F
Verse 2
Bb
Underneath the pub verandah
G
When a stranger rose before me,
C
and he said that he was drunk
F
He apologised for speaking,
C
there was no offence he swore
But he somehow seemed to fancy
F
that he'd seen my face before
He agreed you can't remember all
C
the chaps you chance to meet
And he said his name was Sweeney,
people lived in Sussex Street
F
Verse 3
He was camping in a stable,
C
that he swore that he was right
Only for the blanky horses
F
walkin' over him all night
Bb
He'd apparently been fighting,
F
for his face was black and blue
G
And it looked as though the horses
had been treading on him too
C
Verse 4
F
But an honest genial twinkle in the
Seemed to hint of something better,
F
C
F
spite of drink and rags and dirt
He was born in Parramatta and
That he'd like to see the city,
F
'ere the liquor finished him
But he couldn't raise the money,
C
he was damned if he could think
What the Government was doing here,
he offered me a drink
F
Verse 5
I declined, 'twas self- denial and
Using all the hackneyed arguments
F
that preachers mostly use
Things I'd heard in temperance lectures,
C
I was young and rather green
And I ended by referring to
the man he might have been
F
Verse 6
Bb
But he couldn't stay to argue,
F
for his beer was nearly gone
G
He was glad, he said, to meet me,
F
But he guessed he'd have to go
C
and get his bottle filled again
And he gave a lurch and vanished
F
in the darkness and the rain
Verse 7
F
Now of afternoons in cities,
C
when the rain is on the land
Visions come to me of Sweeney,
F
Bb
with his bottle in his hand.
