Andrew Barton Paterson - The Protest

I say 'e isn't Remorse! br 'Ow do I know? br Saw 'im on Riccarton course br Two year ago! br Think I'd forget any 'orse? br Course 'e's The Crow! br Bumper Maginnis and I br After a "go", br Walkin' our 'orses to dry, br I says "Hello! br What's that old black goin' by?" br Bumper says "Oh! br That's an old cuddy of Flanagan's -- br Runs as The Crow!" br br Now they make out 'e's Remorse. br Well, but I know. br Soon as I came on the course br I says "'Ello! br 'Ere's the old Crow." br Once a man's seen any 'orse, br Course 'e must know. br Sure as there's wood in this table, br I say 'e's The Crow. br br (Cross-examied by the Committee.) br 'Ow do I know the moke br After one sight? br S'posin' you meet a bloke br Down town at night, br Wouldn't you know 'im again when you meet 'im? br That's 'im all right! br br What was the brand on 'is 'ide? br I couldn't say, br Brands can be transmogrified. br That ain't the way -- br It's the look of a 'orse and the way that 'e moves br That I'd know any day. br br What was the boy on 'is back? br Why, 'e went past br All of a minute, and off down the track.
