1870 BUCHAN, in English
153 year old fragile hard bound book. with "Yours very faithfully John B. PRATT" on inside cover, as well as the following insert in english script.
I want to settle on the land & asked my freehold clear,
The Labor member up & says, "you'll get no freehold here,
Of land henceforth is this here State, no man shall own a piece
We're going to confiscate it all, & let it out on lease"
Oh its cocky this, & cocky that, & "take away his land,"
But it's promise everything he wants when his vote is in demand,
When his vote is in demand my boys
His vote is in demand
It's promise everything he wants,
When his vote is in demand.
We've pushed out back we've cleared the scrub
We've taken up the soil
We've mad a home for wife & kids
By honest rugged toil
We're far away from towns & schools,
We're on the Never Never fringe
And the only help that Labor gives
Is to tell us not to cringe
Oh it's cocky this & cocky that & lost you're manhood "you"
But its backbone to the country when election day's in view
We stand the trials of flood & drought,
Of fire & rabbits too,
We see the mortgage mounting up,
And old bills must renew
And if we ask the Labor coves,
To build a railway line
It's hard upon us to be told,
We only cringe & whine,
Oh is cocky this & whiner that & loafer on the State,
But it's "please vote Mr Farmer,
For the Labor candidate".
