Gordon Bok - Queensland overlanders

There's a trade you all know ^Cwell It's ^Gbringing cattle ^Dover On ^Gevery track, to the ^CGulf and back Men ^Gknow the Queensland ^Ddro^Gver

^EmPass the billy 'round, me ^Cboys Don't ^Glet the pint pot ^Dstand there For to^Gnight we'll drink the ^Chealth Of ^Gevery over^Dlan^Gder ^{D G}

There are men from every ^Cland From ^GSpain and France and ^DFlanders We're a ^Gwell-mixed pack, both ^Cwhite and black Men ^Gcall the over^Dlan^Gders

^EmPass the billy 'round, me ^Cboys Don't ^Glet the pint pot ^Dstand there For to^Gnight we'll drink the ^Chealth Of ^Gevery over^Dlan^Gder ^{D G}

I come from the northern ^Cplains Where the ^Ggirls and grass are ^Dscanty Where the ^Gcreeks run dry or ^Cten foot high And it's ^Geither drought or ^Dplen^Gty

^EmPass the billy 'round, me ^Cboys Don't ^Glet the pint pot ^Dstand there For to^Gnight we'll drink the ^Chealth Of ^Gevery over^Dlan^Gder ^{D G}

When we've earned a spree in ^Ctown We ^Glive like kings in ^Dclover And a ^Gwhole month's check goes ^Cdown the neck Of ^Gmany a Queensland ^Ddro^Gver

^EmPass the billy 'round, me ^Cboys Don't ^Glet the pint pot ^Dstand there For to^Gnight we'll drink the ^Chealth Of ^Gevery over^Dlan^Gder ^{D G}

As I pass along the ^Croad The ^Gchildren raise my ^Ddander Crying, "^GMother dear, take ^Cin the clothes Here ^Gcomes an over^Dlan^Gder"

^EmPass the billy 'round, me ^Cboys Don't ^Glet the pint pot ^Dstand there For to^Gnight we'll drink the ^Chealth Of ^Gevery over^Dlan^Gder
