lyrics

V.1

I’m on the road to Grenfell

Henry Lawson’s town

I drank so much last night

Acted like a clown

But the cause I have for sorrow

Only drink could kill

I’m hopin’ Henry will forgive me

I believe he will

V.2
I’m gonna stop in Jerilderie
There’s a letter I gotta send
Head on up to Narrandera
Watch the Murrumbidgee bend
And the cause I have for sorrow
Henry will understand
Once I get to Grenfell
Henry Lawson land

V.3
I’m sitting outside the Band Hall
Tryin’ to calm my itchin’ feet
Made it all the way to Grenfell
Watchin’ faces in the street
And the cause I have for sorrow
That letter to my wife can tell
Come and sit with me, Henry
At the bottom of the well
V.4

(instrumental first four lines)

And the cause I have for sorrow
Henry understands
Now that I’m in Grenfell
In Henry Lawson’s hands
