I had written him a letter which I had, I am sitting in my dingy little office, for want of better where a stingy Knowledge, sent to where I met him Ray of sunlight struggles feebly down the Lachlan, years ago, down between the houses tall, He was shearing when I knew him, so I And the foetid air and gritty of the sent the letter to him, dusty, dirty city Just ‘on spec’, addressed as follows, Through the open window floating, ‘Clancy, of The Overflow’. spreads its foulness over all. And an answer came directed in a writing unexpected, And in place of lowing cattle, I can hear (And I think the same was written the fiendish rattle with a thumb-nail dipped in tar) Of the tramways and the ‘buses ’Twas his shearing mate who wrote it, making hurry down the street, and verbatim I will quote it: And the language uninviting of the ‘Clancy’s gone to Queensland gutter children fighting, droving, and we don’t know where he Comes fitfully and faintly through are.’ the ceaseless tramp of feet.

. . . . . And the hurrying people daunt me, and their pallid faces haunt me In my wild erratic fancy visions come As they shoulder one another in to me of Clancy their rush and nervous haste, Gone a-droving ‘down the Cooper’ With their eager eyes and greedy, and where the Western drovers go; their stunted forms and weedy, As the stock are slowly stringing, For townsfolk have no time to grow, Clancy rides behind them singing, they have no time to waste. For the drover’s life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know. And I somehow rather fancy that I’d like to change with Clancy, And the bush hath friends to meet him, Like to take a turn at droving and their kindly voices greet him where the seasons come and go, In the murmur of the breezes and While he faced the round eternal of the river on its bars, the cash-book and the journal - And he sees the vision splendid of the But I doubt he’d suit the office, sunlit plains extended, Clancy, of ‘The Overflow’. And at night the wond’rous glory of the everlasting stars.

. . . . . The Man from Snowy River A. B. Paterson Clancy’s Reply

In 1897, years after he gave up droving, Thomas Gerald Clancy, better known as "Clancy of the Overflow", penned this verse

Neath the star-spangled dome Thence onward o'er the Narran, Of my Austral home, By scrubby belts of Yarran, When watching by the camp fire's To where the landscape changes ruddy glow, And the cotton bushes grow. Oft in the flickering blaze And my path I've often wended Is presented to my gaze Over drought-scourged plains The sun-drenched kindly faces extended, Of the men of Overflow. where phantom lakes and Now, though years have passed forests forever Forever come and go; Since I used, with best endeavour And the stock in hundreds dying, Clip the fleeces of the jumbucks Along the road are lying, Down the Lachlan years ago, To count among the 'pleasures" Still in memory linger traces That townsfolk never know. Of many cheerful faces, Over arid plains extended And the well-remembered visage My route has often tended, Of the Bulletin's "Banjo". Droving cattle to the Darling, Tired of life upon the stations, Or along the Warrego; With their wretched, scanty Oft with nightly rest impeded, rations, when the cattle had stampeded, I took a sudden notion Save I sworn that droving That a droving I would go; pleasures Then a roving fancy took me, For the future I'd forego. Which has never since forsook me, So of drinking liquid mire And decided me to travel, I eventually did tire, And leave the Overflow. And gave droving up forever So with maiden ewes from Tubbo, As a life that was too slow. I passed en route to Dubbo, Now, gold digging, in a measure, And across the Lig'num country Affords much greater pleasure 'where the Barwon waters flow; To your obedient servant, "Clancy of the Overflow"
