Banjo Paterson,
The Ballad of the Carpet Bag
(1903)
“ Pack dat carpet bag! You must travel by de road, you must travel by de train, And the things what you've done you will have to explain, And the things what you've promised, you must promise 'em again. ”
Banjo Paterson,
The Ballad of the Carpet Bag
(1903)
“ For there's grass in the west, and the rain am fallin'. Pack dat carpet bag! You must pack up a volume of Coghlan's Figures, Pack dat carpet bag! And a lot o' little jokes to amuse those niggers. Pack dat carpet bag! You must wheedle all de gals with a twinkle of your eye, You must bob down your head when de eggs begin to fly. Oh! those eggs what they're saving, and they'll throw 'em by and by. ”
Banjo Paterson,
The Ballad of the Carpet Bag
(1903)
“ You must travel second-class when you travel by de train, For you haven't got a pass on de end of your chain, While the other fellow's packing for de great campaign. Pack dat carpet bag! Hear dem voters callin'! Pack de clean boiled rag. For there's grass in the west, and the rain am fallin'. ”
