1. I'm a shearer, yes I am, And I've shorn 'em sheep and lamb, From the Wimmera to the Darling Downs and back, And I've rung a shed or two, Where the fleece was tough as glue, But I'll tell you where I struck the 'ardest tac. 2. I was down round Yenda way, Ki...

Come gather round and listen lads, and hear me tell m' tale, How across the sea from England I was condemned to sail. The jury found me guilty, and then says the judge, says he, Oh for life, Jim Jones, I'm sending you across the stormy sea. But take a tip befo...

O we started down from Roto When the sheds had all cut out, We'd whips and whips of rhino That we'd want to knock about, So we shouldered our Matildas And we headed out for town, With a three spot cheque between us That wanted knocking down. Chorus: But we ca...

Come all you Lachlan men and a sorrowful tale I'll tell, The story of a decent man who through misfortune fell, His name it was Ben Hall, a man of high renown, Who was hunted from his station, and like a dog shot down. Three years he roamed the roads, and he...

1. They're leaving ship and station, They're leaving bench and fold, And pouring out from Melbourne To join the search for gold. The face of town and country Is changing ev'ry day, But rulers keep on ruling The old colonial way. 2. "How can we work the diggin...

1. O hark the dogs are barking, love. I can no longer stay; The men are all gone mustering, And it is nearly day. And I must be off by morning light Before the sun does shine, To meet the Roma shearers on The banks of the Condamine. 2. O Willy, dearest Willy,...

1. Now, all you blokes, take my advice And do your daily toil, But don't go out to Bungaree To work on the chocolate soil. For the days they are so long, my boys, They'll break your heart in two; And if ever you work for cocky Bourke You very soon will know....
