Henry Lawson - Middleton`s Rouseabout
Work rating: Low

Tall and freckled and sandy, 
 Face of a country lout; 
This was the picture of Andy, 
 Middleton`s Rouseabout. 
 
Type of a coming nation, 
 In the land of cattle and sheep, 
Worked on Middleton`s station, 
 `Pound a week and his keep.` 
 
On Middleton`s wide dominions 
 Plied the stockwhip and shears; 
Hadn`t any opinions, 
 Hadn`t any `idears`. 
 
Swiftly the years went over, 
 Liquor and drought prevailed; 
Middleton went as a drover, 
 After his station had failed. 
 
Type of a careless nation, 
 Men who are soon played out, 
Middleton was: — and his station 
 Was bought by the Rouseabout. 
 
Flourishing beard and sandy, 
 Tall and robust and stout; 
This is the picture of Andy, 
 Middleton`s Rouseabout. 
 
Now on his own dominions 
 Works with his overseers; 
Hasn`t any opinions, 
 Hasn`t any `idears`.
