Derby Old Brigade

by Jim Wright

You strike them around the town or maybe at the pub,
These "oldtimers," telling how they earnt their early grub.
Old Dug, will tell of pack mules, he ran out to the Ord,
Of rain and bog, runaway blacks, and creeks he had to ford.

Then Gordon will chip in, and he's quite easily heard,
