《Clancy Of The Overflow》歌词

[00:00:00] Clancy Of The Overflow - John Schumann
[00:00:17] I had written him a letter which I had
[00:00:21] For want of better
[00:00:23] Knowledge sent to where
[00:00:25] I met him down the Lachlan years ago
[00:00:31] He was shearing when I knew him
[00:00:33] So I sent the letter to him
[00:00:36] Just on spec addressed as follows
[00:00:39] Clancy of the overflow
[00:00:44] And an answer came directed
[00:00:47] In a writing unexpected
[00:00:49] And I think the same was written
[00:00:53] With a thumbnail dipped in tar
[00:00:57] His shearing mate who wrote
[00:01:00] Verbatim I will quote it
[00:01:03] Clancy's gone to queensland droving
[00:01:06] And we don't know where he are
[00:01:10] In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of clancy
[00:01:16] Gone a droving down the cooper
[00:01:19] Where the western drovers go
[00:01:24] As the stock are slowly stringing
[00:01:26] Clancy rides behind them singing
[00:01:29] For the drover's life has pleasures
[00:01:32] That the townsfolk never know
[00:01:40] And the bush hath friends to meet him
[00:01:43] And their kindly voices greet him
[00:01:46] In the murmur of the breezes
[00:01:49] And the river on it's bars
[00:01:53] And he sees the vision splendid
[00:01:56] Of the sunlit plains extended
[00:01:59] And at night the wondrous glory
[00:02:02] Of the everlasting stars
[00:02:24] I am sitting in my dingy little office where a stingy
[00:02:29] Ray of sunlight struggles feebly down
[00:02:33] Between the houses tall
[00:02:37] And the foetid air and gritty of the dusty dirty city
[00:02:43] Through the open window floating
[00:02:46] Spreads it's foulness over all
[00:02:50] And in place of lowing cattle
[00:02:53] I can hear the fiendish rattle
[00:02:56] Of the tramways and the buses
[00:02:59] Making hurry down the street
[00:03:04] And the language uninviting
[00:03:07] Of the gutter children fighting
[00:03:10] Comes fitfully and faintly
[00:03:13] Through the ceaseless tramp of feet
[00:03:20] And the hurrying people daunt me
[00:03:23] Their pallid faces haunt me
[00:03:26] As they shoulder one another
[00:03:29] In their rush and nervous haste
[00:03:33] With their eager eyes and greedy
[00:03:36] Their stunted forms and weedy
[00:03:39] Townsfolk have no time to grow
[00:03:42] Have no time to waste
[00:03:49] And I'd somehow rather fancy
[00:03:52] That I'd like to change with clancy
[00:03:56] The take turn at droving
[00:03:58] Where the seasons come and go
[00:04:03] While he faced the round eternal
[00:04:05] Of the cashbook and the journal
[00:04:08] Yeah I'd doubt he'd suit the office
[00:04:11] Clancy of the overflow
