Beyond His Jurisdiction by Harry "Breaker" Morant

It was a Western manager, and a language man was he;
Thus spoke he to the shed-boss: "Send 'The Rager' round to me;
I'll hie me to the office, where I'll write his crimson cheque,
Bid him roll his dusty swag up, or I'll break his no-good neck."

So when the bell was ringing -- when "smoke-oh!" time was o'er,
Says the shed-boss: "Mick, your services are wanted here no more."
Then "The Rager" hung his shears up, stepped from the shearing floor
And went a-swapping swear-words 'round at the office door.

For the boss began to language, and "The Rager" languaged back;
Says "The Rager": "There's my brother, can't you give him too the sack?"
"Your brother? Damn your brother! Yes, send him round here quick!"
"That narks yez," Michael answered -- "he's a cocky down in Vic."
