Have you ever been droving out west?

[Duncan Williams]

as a kid i remember reading a peice of verse about droving, would any body know the author or where it came from?

Have you ever been droving out west,
Where the flys are a terible pest,
And the mozzies at night,
By crips they bite,
And the bull ants get up ya pants and dance.
where's there's not a bird, not even a crow!
By gee's ya know your earning your dough,
When you take on droving out west.

[Rimeriter]
