Explore "Last Week" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Oh, the new-chum went to the back block run, / But he should have gone there last week. / He tramped ten miles with a loaded gun, / But of turkey or duck he saw never a one, / For he should have been there last week, / They said, / There were flocks of 'em there last week.
He wended his way to a waterfall, / And he should have gone there last week. / He carried a camera, legs and all, / But the day was hot, and the stream was small, / For he should have gone there last week, / They said. / They drowned a man there last week.
