Explore "The Story of Mongrel Grey" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This is the story the stockman told, / On the cattle camp, when the stars were bright; / The moon rose up like a globe of gold / And flooded the plain with her mellow light. / We watched the cattle till dawn of day / And he told me the story of Mongrel Grey.
He was a knock-about station hack, / Spurred and walloped, and banged and beat; / Ridden all day with a sore on his back, / Left all night with nothing to eat. / That was a matter of every-day / Common occurrence to Mongrel Grey.
