So he footed it home and he dragged the cart—
But the horse was all right last week,
They said,
He trotted a match last week.

So he asked the bushies who came from far
To visit the town last week,
If they'd dine with him, and they said 'Hurrah!
But there wasn't a drop in the whisky jar—
You should have been here last week,
He said,
I drank it all up last week!
