CALICO SWAG
(This is our very own modern-day aussie icon, Swaggy Campbell . I met him at the Yag'ubi Festival 2 years in a row! Imagine my surprise to see him in my picture search for swagmen !This photo by Andrew c/- www.djibnet.com)
CALICO SWAG
His boots are worn,the soles are gone,
his toes are poking through.
His hat has barely shade for brow, his coat is all but ruin;
And fifty years of drifting with the miles from town to town
have bent his body weary,ever nearer to the ground;
And all he loves, all he needs
and all he cares to own,
he carries on his shoulder
In a Swag of Calico.
Photographs of family that he lost in bitter tears;
friendships past that didn't last the marching of the years;
And words that one was meant to hear
yet never once were said,
still decorate the pages of letters never sent;
And portrait of a girl he loved
yet never got to hold,
all carried on his shoulder
In a Swag of Calico.
The times are few and far between he's longed to take a wife
and reap the homely comforts of an ordinary life,
for tho' the years have finally begun to take their toll,
his heart beats for no other than the love of open road.
It's all he is, all he knows
and all he's living for;
And home is where his heart is
In a Swag of Calico
All he loves and all he needs
and all he cares to own,
he carries on his shoulder
In a Swag of Calico
