Sergeant Small â�" Weddings Parties Anything

I went broke in western Queensland in 1931,
Nobody would employ me so my swaggy days begun
I headed out to Charleville, out to the western towns,
I was on my way to Roma, destination Darling Downs

And my pants were getting ragged, my shoes were getting thin,
When we stopped in Mitchell, a goods train shunted in,
The engine blew her whistle, I was looking up to see,
She was on her way to Roma, that was very plain to me.

I wished that I was 16 stone and only seven foot tall,
I�d go back to western Queensland, and beat up Sergeant Small.

As I sat and watched her, inspiration seemed to grow,
And I remembered the government slogan, �It�s a railway that you own�
So by the time the sun was setting, and night was going nigh,
So I gathered my belongings and I caught her on the fly.

And as we came into Roma, I tucked my head down low,
And a voice said �any room mate?� and I answered, �Plenty Beu�
Then at this tip this noble man, the voice of Sergeant Small,
Said, �I�ve trapped you very nicely, you�re headed for a fall�

I wished that I was 16 stone and only seven foot tall,
I�d go back to western Queensland, and beat up Sergeant Small.

(instrumental, then change key)

The Judge was very kind to me, he gave me thirty days,
He said, �Maybe that would help to cure my rattler jumping ways�
So if your down and outback, let me tell you what I think,
Just stay off the Queensland railways, it�s a shortcut to the clink.

I wished that I was 16 stone and only seven 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.
