Lloyd - New South Wales lyrics

cho: Here we are in New South Wales

Shearing sheep as big as whales, with

Leather necks and jaggy tails

And hides as tough as rusty nails.

When shearing comes, lay down your drums

Step to the boards you brand-new chums

With the rattum-rattum-rub-a-dub-dub

We'll send you back on the lime juice tub.

The brand new chums and cappy sons

Fancy they're the greatest guns.

Fancy they can shear the wool

But the beggars can only tear and pull.

Though you live beyond your means

Your daughters wear no crinolines;

Nor are they bothered by boots or shoes

But live wild in the bush with the kangaroos.

Oh it's home I'd like to be

Far from the bush and back country

Sixteen thousand miles I've come

To spend my life as a shearing bum.

Recorded by A.L. Lloyd, Clancys
