Subject(s): Desolation; Travel; Journeys; Trips


YOU take my tip, for stick and slip—
I don't care where you've been—
I'll back the plain, after a rain,
From Bourbah to Bullagreen.

I've struck some bogs, and "glue-pot" clogs,
And "porridge heaps" I've seen,
But strike me fat there's none like that
From Bourbah to Bullagreen.

You'll find it rough and blasted tough
When, bogged to the hilt and a-lean,
You swear and shout—fetch blood each clout—
From Bourbah to Bullagreen.

Just picture night—without moonlight,
And raining—lumps, I mean.
God only knows how the mailman goes
From Bourbah to Bullagreen.
