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