lirik lagu ted egan - the man from humpty doo
i’ve rolled on swags in loads of camps from queensland to the west
i’ve met some liars and some outback champs but the oldest and the best
was a bloke i met at suzie’s pub we drank a rum or two
he was mustering geese way up north in a place called humpty doo
because he said…
i’ve been around a bit and i’ll show you a trick or two
take a gander at the gaggle of geese said the man from humpty doo
well i watched him breaking in a goose
that he couldn’t drive for nuts
he was useless as a rouseabout and as a cook he’d rot your guts
but hе said he rode with scuthorpe and sheep with jackiе howe
he’d been a chef at menzies and he’d milked the sacred cow
because he said…
i’ve been around a bit and i’ll show you a trick or two
take a gander at the gaggle of geese said the man from humpty doo
wretched geese was not his line he couldn’t stand the dags
but he was a champ at bludging drinks and smoking dopey f~gs
and he said he dug the murray
he won a vc at tobruk
i think he’d fought les darcy and he sailed with captain cook
because he said…
i’ve been around a bit and i’ll show you a trick or two
take a gander at the gaggle of geese said the man from humpty doo
well he built a yard to brand his geese and he made me laugh like h~ll
cause he tried to make some postholes by chopping up an old well
but he did say he’d drove phar lap
he played for collingwood in the run
he played davis cup with laver and bowled bradman for a duck
because he said…
i’ve been around a bit and i’ll show you a trick or two
take a gander at the gaggle of geese said the man from humpty doo
oh he said he groomed gough whitlam
been a tv star
travelled with slim dusty and owned a pub at marble bar
but if you tallied up these things
mate he’d tally you
he was just 200 years of age
the man from humpty doo
but like he said…
i’ve been around a bit and i’ll show you a trick or two
take a gander at the gaggle of geese said the man from humpty doo
take a gander at the gaggle of geese said the man from humpty doo
