Good Old Wally King
Good old Wally King looked out,
On his crop of barley,
"Well, bless my soul and blow me down,
That looks to me like Charlie.
Haven't seen him 'round these parts,
Many a long year,
Reckon I might offer him,
A glass of Christmas cheer."
"Agnes put the kettle on,
Quick as you are able,
Let us make another place,
For him at the table.
He looks a little worse for wear,
His clothes are old and baggy,
It's a long and weary road,
For an honest swaggie."
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-
Ohhh-Ohhh
Ohhh-ohhh Ohhh-ohhh
Ohhhhh
Oh-oh-oh-o-o-o-ohhh
O-o-o-ohhh
Mates they'd been in years before,
And now the two were older,
And so he welcomed Charlie in,
A hand upon his shoulder,
Gladly those three feasted there,
And in the warmth of sharing,
The Christmas season brought again,
A time of peace and caring.
Oh-oh-oh-o-o-o-oh-oh-ohhh
Oh-oh-oh-o-o-o-ohhh
Oh-oh-oh-o-o-o-oh-oh-ohhh
