Oh it's a lonesome away
from yom kindred and all
By the camp fire at night
we'll hear the wild dingos call
But there's a nothing so
lonesome, morbid or dreary
Than to stand in the
bar of a pub with no beer
Now the publican's anxious
for the quota to come
And there's a far away
look on the face of the bum
Then the stock man rides up
with his dry (lusty throat
But the smile on his face
quickly turns to a sneer
Then the Swaggy comes in
smothered in dust and mes
But When he is told he says
What's this I hear
I've trudged iifty 113111ng miles
to a pub With no beer
Now there's a (log on the
veranda,
for his master he waits
But the boss is inside
drinking Wine With his mates
He hurries for cover
and he cringes With fear
It's no place for a (log
r01md a pub with no beer
And old Billy the blacksmith,
the Iirst time in his life
Why he's gone home cold sober
to his darling wife
He walks in the kitchen,
she says you're early Bill dear
011 it's hard to believe
that there's customers still
But the money's still tinkling
in the old ancient till
The wine (lots are happy
and I know they're sincere
So it's a lonesome away
from yom kindred and all
But there's a nothing so
lonesome, morbid or dreary
Than to stand in the bar
of that pub with no beer
