The Legend Of Barry Kable Lyrics

The Legend Of Barry Kable
(Cochran/Crowe)

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 in his
own head

Now he waits at the post office for delivery
walks down to
the Talbot, just in time for tea
At least at the hostel, they won't steal
your steaks,
My name is Barry and I brought my own
plate

Chorus:
Well he'd ride with me, spit on me, take me on in Crown
street
He crossed that road like a river

Painter and Docker, piss-head
boxer
But a Rose of Australia was mad Barry
Dog in the moonlight,
gentleman when he was right
He just dropped dead in the bottle shop of the
Gaslight

Chorus:

I met Barry's boy driving him to Mc Kinnon
(which is a detox unit)
He confessed to me he'd been doin' it hard
Looked
like his dad, only braver
Well I might have helped him if I could just give
the drink away
