Explore "The Old Jimmy Woodser" by Henry Lawson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

The old Jimmy Woodser comes into the bar, / Unwelcomed, unnoticed, unknown, / Too old and too odd to be drunk with, by far; / And he glides to the end where the lunch baskets are / And they say that he tipples alone.

His frock-coat is green and the nap is no more, / And the style of his hat is at rest. / He wears the peaked collar our grandfathers wore, / The black-ribboned tie that was legal of yore, / And the coat buttoned over his breast.
