Big Danny has many good stories to tell
Of his happy nights in the old Sem Hotel
A man who enjoys the barroom atmosphere
One can say of him that he does like his beer
In his early thirties he does not have a wife
Or of children he knows of to support in his life
He is not the type in life to settle down
One who never stays too long in any town
A scaffolder, a shearer, a drainer some of the jobs he has worked at
From the Cairns tropics south to Ballarat
Tall handsome, broad shouldered and handsome and full of elan
In the prime of his life the love to wander man
Two years ago on the last time i met Big Danny he was walking to the train
With a handshake he bid me goodbye saying i hope we will meet again
I have not seen him since and where he is today
Perhaps working and traveling otherwise i cannot say.
