[Intro]
C
[Verse]
We finished shearing Dmsheep, Gout west of the PaCroo
And now it's rained three Dminches, Gwe don't know what to Cdo
A Gweek ago the Csand was loose, the Gdust blew every Cday
And Dmnow the mud is two Dm7feet deep and Gwe can't get away C
[Verse]
I've just been talking Dmto the boss, you Gall know Hector Cope C
He says the Bull is Dmtwo miles wide, to Gcross it there's no Chope
You Ghear a lot of Cpeople swear aGbout the dough we Cmake
But Dmthey forget the Dm7price of beer and Gall the combs we break C
[Verse]
It might have been a Dmgood job once, those Gold hands had their Cbreaks
They pushed a cart from Dmshed to shed and Glived on johnnyCcakes
They Ghad more time to Cdo the job and they Gworked nine hours a Cday
And Dmafter paying Dm7for their grub, one Gpound-a-hundred made C
[Verse]
Now why I took this Dmjob on, GI just can't underCstand
If the bloody sheep ain't Dmwaterlogged, the Gcows are full of Csand
A Gman is doubled Cup all day, half-Gblinded by his Csweat
And Dmwhen the darkness Dm7comes around, cooped Gup in a mozzie net C
[Verse]
I think I'll give this Dmjob away, I'm Gtired of being Cgreasy
I've heard about a Dmfencing job, they Gtell me it's dead Ceasy
