Far North Of This Countryside

Far north of this countryside near Warrnambool
As a lad i was dunce of the primary school
But since then many a night followed by day
And time has left me older and balding and grey
But this did not stop me of enjoying my youth
For i had some good times for to tell the truth
And though i was no use at sports or football
Playing games with my young friends the best fun of all
The years pass so quickly youth with us did not stay
And that time does not wait only true for to say
In cemeteries from where i live north and far away
Some i went to school with forever do lay
And some like me years past their physical prime
And too showing the wear that does come with time.
