《Sergeant Small》歌词

[00:00:02] Sergeant Small - Weddings Parties Anything

[00:00:27] I went broke in western

[00:00:28] Queensland in 1931

[00:00:31] Nobody would employ me

[00:00:33] So my swaggy days begun

[00:00:35] I headed out to Charleville

[00:00:37] Out to the western towns

[00:00:39] I was on my way to Roma

[00:00:41] Destination Darling Downs

[00:00:44] And my pants were getting ragged

[00:00:46] My shoes were getting thin

[00:00:48] When we stopped in Mitchell

[00:00:50] A goods train shunted in

[00:00:52] The engine blew her whistle

[00:00:54] I was looking up to see

[00:00:57] She was on her way to Roma

[00:00:59] That was very plain to me

[00:01:02] I wished that I was 16

[00:01:04] Stone and only seven foot tall

[00:01:07] I'd go back to western Queensland

[00:01:09] And beat up Sergeant Small

[00:01:14] As I sat and watched her

[00:01:15] Inspiration seemed to grow

[00:01:17] And I remembered the government slogan

[00:01:19] "It's a railway that you own"

[00:01:21] So by the time the sun was setting

[00:01:23] And night was going nigh

[00:01:26] So I gathered my belongings

[00:01:28] And I caught her on the fly

[00:01:31] And as we came into Roma

[00:01:33] I tucked my head down low

[00:01:35] And a voice said "any room mate "

[00:01:37] And I answered "Plenty Beu"

[00:01:39] Then at this tip this noble man

[00:01:41] The voice of Sergeant Small

[00:01:43] Said "I've trapped you very nicely

[00:01:45] You're headed for a fall"

[00:01:48] I wished that I was 16 stone

[00:01:50] And only seven foot tall

[00:01:53] I'd go back to western Queensland

[00:01:55] And beat up Sergeant Small

[00:02:18] The Judge was very kind to me

[00:02:19] He gave me thirty days

[00:02:21] He said "Maybe that would

[00:02:22] Help to cure my rattler jumping ways"

[00:02:25] So if your down and outback

[00:02:27] Let me tell you what I think

[00:02:29] Just stay off the Queensland railways

[00:02:32] It's a shortcut to the clink

[00:02:34] I wished that I was 16 stone

[00:02:37] And only seven foot tall

[00:02:39] I'd go back to western Queensland

[00:02:41] And beat up Sergeant Small

[00:02:44] I'd go back to western Queensland

[00:02:46] And beat up Sergeant Small
