Here's the story of a real character, an old mate called Roy.
[Verse]
When I travelled with my show right round Australia
We only got back home at Christmas time
Our home was in the deep south of the Gippsland
And life was mostly full on all the time
There’s a saying true that people do make places
And our circle of true friends were made to last
But this song is mostly of just one old timer
And we never knew too much about his past
[Verse]
Old Roy just drifted into Metung village
They say he came from Sydney, New South Wales
And they say he was big time in the racing game
But when life went wrong, he wound up on the rails
And he ended up just working round the village
He drank too much, and chain smoked all the time
But one day every year he dressed up special
And joined us all at Homewood Christmas time
[Chorus]
And he sang with us around the old piana
F G
Songs like ’harbour lights and ‘Danny boy’
Said that "Mother was one of Nature's Gentlemen", yeah
G C
Christmas day was a big day for old Roy.
[Interlude]
G7 C
[Verse]
He was famous for his winners of the weekend
He’d whisper "mate, this one’s the real McCoy"
From two bob millionaires to local farmers
Everybody got their tips from good old Roy
It’s a London to a brick, mate, it’s a certainty
And most of us would listen to him too
We’d leave our change with Roy when we were leaving
Oh, its somehow seemed the decent thing to do
[Verse]
Some said made he made the village look untidy
But his mates made sure he was left alone
They bought him clothes and checked his tattered footwear
And chucked in for a van that was his home
Disliked or not, he surely was a character
And the last time that I saw he looked thin
He said old mate here’s a keepsake for tomorrow
And passed across his old log cabin tin. I still got the tin.
[Verse]
He was pretty drunk, so I rolled him some for later
He said all the best to David, Anne and Joy
And you know mumbled something more about natures gentleman
And that was my last drink with poor old Roy
Oh, the winter came and Roy was thin and weary
He died alone in his little quiet place
But I’m sure he’s riding winners on that big track
But down here he has lost his final race, hey
[Chorus]
Yeah, he sang with us around the old piana
F G7
Songs like ‘Harbour Lights' and ’Danny Boy’
Said that "mother was one of nature's gentlemen", God bless him
Yeah, Christmas day was a big day for old Roy.
