lyrics

Old Grey Man

Old grey man with the gunny sack
Stationed himself by the railroad track
Plays for a zac on an old tin fife
Days of glory – days of life

Old grey dog by the old tin can
Wearied of life – wearied of man
Suns himself by a bottle tree
Knows about you – knows about me

War came along like a lightning rod
Fires the soul and the soldiers plod
He sinks to the bottom of the sea
Out of reach for you and me

In the river of life they don’t seem much
Two specs of silt we do not touch
Playing for a zac by a bottle tree
Out of reach for you and me

Old grey man with the gunny sack
Stationed himself by a bronzed Anzac
Making a quid on an old tin fife
Days of glory – days of life

Some of them old diggers yeah they paid a price
Remembering mates bringing freedom with their life
