 Rate Sergeant Small
Artist : Weddings parties anything
Song : Sergeant small
(Tex Morton) I went broke in Western Queensland in
1931, Nobody would employ me so my swaggy days
begun. I headed out through Charlieville to the
western towns, I was on my way to Roma,
destination Darling Downs. Hey my pants were
getting ragged, my shoes were getting thin, And
when we stopped at Mitchell, a goods train
shunted in, The engine blew her whistle, I was
looking I could see, She was on her way to Roma,
that was very plain to me. And I wish that I was
16 stone and only 7 foot tall, I'd go back to
Western Queensland and beat up Sergeant Small.
Well as I sat and watched her, inspiration seemed
to grow, And I remember the Government slogan,
"It's the railway that you own." So by this time
the sun was setting and night was growing nigh,
So I gathered my belingings and I caught her on
the fly. And as we came into Roma, I kept my head
down low, I heard a voice say "any room mate" and
I answered "plenty 'bo!" Then out there stepped
this noble man, the voice of Sergeant Small, He
said I've trapped you very nicely, you're headed
for a fall. And I wish that I was 16 stone and
only 7 foot tall, I'd go back to Western
Queensland and beat up Sergeant Small. The judge
was very kind to me, he gave me 30 days, He said
maybe that would help to cure my rattler jumping
ways. So if you're down and outback let me tell
you what I think, Just stay off the Queensland
railway, it's a short cut to the clink. And I
wish that I was 16 stone and only 7 foot tall,
I'd go back to Western Queensland and beat up
Sergeant Small, I'd go back to Western Queensland
and beat up Sergeant Small.
