Explore "Down the River" by Henry Lawson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I'VE done with joys an' misery, / An' why should I repine? / There's no one knows the past but me / An' that ol' dog o' mine. / We camp an' walk an' camp an' walk, / An' find it fairly good; / He can do anything but talk, / An' he wouldn't if he could.
We sits an' thinks beside the fire, / With all the stars a-shine, / An' no one knows our thoughts but me / An' that there dog o' mine. / We has our Johnny-cake an' "scrag," / An' finds 'em fairly good; / He can do anything but talk, / An' he wouldn't if he could.
