Oh, the new-chum went to the backblock run, br But he should have gone there last week. br He tramped ten miles with a loaded gun, br But of turkey of duck saw never a one, br For he should have been there last week, br They said, br There were flocks of 'em there last week. br He wended his way to a waterfall, br And he should have gone there last week. br He carried a camera, legs and all, br But the day was hot and the stream was small, br For he should have gone there last week, br They said, br They drowned a man there last week. br br He went for a drive, and he made a start, br Which should have been made last week, br For the old horse died of a broken heart; br So he footed it home and he dragged the cart -- br But the horse was all right last week, br They said, br He trotted a match last week.
