Lyrics
It was Barry's dad that committed the deed
That mapped out the life young Barry would lead
Eagle on his chest, he'd roar at the wilderness
Till the stars came out and hit stone heads
Now he waits at the post office for delivery
Then it's down to the tower just in time for tea
At least at the hostel they won't steal your steaks
My name is Barry and I bought my own place
He'd ride with me, spit on me, take me on in Crown Street
He crossed that road like a river
Painter and docker, pisshead and boxer
But the rose of Australia was mad Barry
Dog in the moonlight, gentle man while he was right
He just dropped dead in the bottle shop of the Gaslight
He'd ride with me, spit on me, take me on in Crown Street
He crossed that road like a river
I met Barry's boy, driving him to McKinnon
He confessed to me, he'd been doing it hard
Looked just like his dad, only braver
I might have helped him if I could just give the drink away
He'd ride with me, spit on me, take me on in Crown Street
He crossed that road like a river
