Edge of the Milkyway - Dodsworth/Seal version - 2016-0523
based of Humping the Drum, traditional Australian song with verses and tweaks by Graham's Seal & Dodsworth.

(from HUMPING THE DRUM)

I've humped my drum from Kingdom Come
To the edge of the Milky Way
I've camped out rough, from the cape to the gulf
And starved on Christmas Day
To make the weight for the Flying Stakes
and dodge the lynching crowd.
I wheeled my bike from the Shearer's Strike
not wanting a funeral shroud.

I dropped a line in the Condamine
while dossed in the pouring rain
I laughed aloud with the merry crowd 
In the city of the plains
I've worked from morn in fields of corn
Till the sun was out of sight.
I waved farewell to my Sydney Belle,
When we sailed to join the fight.

I carried a gun through World War One
Then went on the track again
From Omeo through Bendigo
To Bourke and back again
I shed a tear in the hungry years
When jobs were short and few
I packed up a swag and my old tucker bag
There was nothing else to do.
