Henry Lawson - I`ll Tell You What, You WanderersHenry Lawson - I`ll Tell You What, You Wanderers
Work rating: Medium


I`ll tell you what you wanderers, who drift from town to town; Don`t look into a good girl`s eyes, until you`ve settled down. It`s hard to go away alone and leave old chums behind- It`s hard to travel steerage when your tastes are more refined- To reach a place when times are bad, and to be stranded there, No money in your pocket nor a decent rag to wear. But be forced from that fond clasp, from that last clinging kiss- By poverty! There is on earth no harder thing than this.
