Analysis of The Drovers
Clarence Michael James Stanislaus Dennis 1876 (Auburn) – 1938 (Melbourne)
Out across the spinifex, out across the sand,
Out across the saltbush to Never Never land
That's the way the drovers go, jogging down the track -
That's the way the drovers go. But how do they come back?
Back across the saltbush from Never Never land.
Back across the spinifex, back across the sand.
