[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com[00:11.99]On the outer Barcoo where the churches are few
[00:15.16]And men of religion are scanty
[00:18.08]On a road never cross'd 'cept by folk that are lost
[00:21.28]One Michael Magee had a shanty
[00:27.23]Now this Mike was the dad of a ten-year-old lad
[00:30.37]Plump healthy and stoutly conditioned;
[00:33.12]He was strong as the best but poor Mike had no rest
[00:36.44]For the youngster had never been christened
[00:41.75]And his wife used to cry
[00:43.31]If the darlin' should die
[00:45.10]Saint Peter would not recognise him
[00:47.95]But by luck he survived till a preacher arrived
[00:51.06]Who agreed straightaway to baptise him
[01:00.32]Now the artful young rogue while they held their collogue
[01:03.90]With his ear to the keyhole was listenin'
[01:06.72]And he muttered in fright while his features turned white
[01:09.78]What the divil and all is this christenin'
[01:13.00]He was none of your dolts he had seen them brand colts
[01:16.30]And it seemed to his small understanding
[01:19.13]If the man in the frock made him one of the flock
[01:22.27]It must mean something very like branding
[01:25.63]So away with a rush he set off for the bush
[01:28.44]While the tears in his eyelids they glistened
[01:31.45]'Tis outrageous says he to brand youngsters like me
[01:34.55]I'll be dashed if I'll stop to be christened
[01:37.70]Like a young native dog he ran into a log
[01:41.04]And his father with language uncivil
[01:43.94]Never heeding the praste cried aloud in his haste
[01:47.11]Come out and be christened you divil
[01:50.64]But he lay there as snug as a bug in a rug
[01:55.51]And his parents in vain might reprove him
[02:02.36]Till his reverence spoke he was fond of a joke
[02:05.87]I've a notion he says that'll move him
[02:08.81]Poke a stick up the log give the spalpeen a prog
[02:11.75]Poke him aisy-don't hurt him or maim him
[02:14.77]'Tis not long that he'll stand I've the water at hand
[02:17.82]As he rushes out this end I'll name him
[02:20.90]Here he comes and for shame you've forgotten the name
[02:23.99]Is it Patsy or Michael or Dinnis
[02:27.03]Here the youngster ran out and the priest gave a shout
[02:30.19]Take your chance anyhow wid
[02:32.31]Maginnis
[02:33.37]As the howling young cub ran away to the scrub
[02:36.52]Where he knew that pursuit would be risky
[02:39.59]The priest as he fled flung a flask at his head
[02:42.49]That was labelled
[02:43.51]Maginnis's Whisky
[02:47.20]And Maginnis Magee has been made a J P
[02:50.86]And the one thing he hates more than sin is
[02:53.92]To be asked by the folk who have heard of the joke
[02:56.71]How he came to be christened
[02:58.18]Maginnis
