lirik lagu john schumann and the vagabond crew - scots of the riverina

[verse]
the boy cleared out to the city from his home about christmas time
they were scots of the riverina and to run from home was a crime
the old man burned his letters, the first and the last he burned
and he scratched his name from the bible
when his old girl’s back was turned

a year went past and another and the fruit went down the line
they heard the boy had enlisted but the old man made no sign
his namе must never be mеntioned on the farm by gundagai
they were scots of the riverina with ever the church hard by

the boy came home on his final and the township’s bonfire burned
his mother’s arms were around him but the old man’s back was turned
the daughters begged for pardon till the old man raised his hand
a scot of the riverina who was hard to understand

the boy was k!lled in flanders where the bravest heroes died
there were tears at the graham homestead and grief in gundagai
but the old man ploughed at daybreak and he ploughed and ploughed till dark
there were furrows of pain in the orchard while his household went to the church

the hurricane lamp in the rafters dimly and dimly burned
and the old man died at the table when his old girl’s back was turned
face down on his bare arms folded he sank in his wild grey hair
outspread o’er the open bible was a name rewritten there
