Bill Briley

Bill Briley will tell you that lfe can be tough
He is one of those people who has had to sleep rough
When he was out of work and financially stuck
And feeling depressed like most down on their luck

But he  is what one would call a hard nut to crack
He has  worked on big pipelines and shorn sheep outback
He has worked on oil rigs and in a coalmine
Now at his physical peak he has turned twenty nine

Yet for one of  his years he is one who has travelled on many a road
He is one of the people of no fixed abode
At present one of a big water pipe laying mob
For him there has never been an easy job

Unmarried and  without children he lives the life he does choose
He is fond of the women and fond of the booze
On his travels through the big country up and down
He has made love to women in most every town

At present he is on a good after tax pay
And feeling quite happy and doing okay
But the wanderlust in him in this town he  will not stay
And when this job is finished he will be on the highway.
