Bill Briley

Bill Briley will tell you that lfe can be tough He is one of those people who has had to sleep rough When he was out of work and financially stuck And feeling depressed like most down on their luck But he is what one would call a hard nut to crack He has worked on big pipelines and shorn sheep outback He has worked on oil rigs and in a coalmine Now at his physical peak he has turned twenty nine Yet for one of his years he is one who has traveled on many a road He is one of the people of no fixed abode At present one of a big water pipe laying mob For him there has never been an easy job Unmarried and without children he lives the life he does choose He is fond of the women and fond of the booze On his travels through the big country up and down He has made love to women in most every town At present he is on a good after tax pay And feeling quite happy and doing okay But the wanderlust in him in this town he will not stay And when this job is finished he will be on the highway.
