Slim Dusty - Since the bushland boogie came this way

Oh de-^Gley-ee-oh, de-^Dley-ee-oh, de-^Gley-dee

Oh, the ^Ggumtrees at the seven mile ^CSwing and sway in the boogie style And the ^Greed beds in the river sweep and^D sway And the ^Gpossums hop around in glee The ^Cdingos howl in an off beat key Since the ^GBushland Boogie ^Dcame around this ^Gway

Now the ^Gswaggie jumped up from the hedge ^CRushed to the parson, signed the pledge And ^Geven threw his bottles all a^Dway For ^Fjust outside his old bark shack A ^Clazy old wombat ballin’ the Jack Since thе ^GBushland Boogie ^Dcame around this ^Gway

Oh de-^Gley-ee-oh, de-^Dley-ee-oh, de-^Gley-dee

There’s ^Gfarmer Grey's old jersey cow ^CStruttin' around the cow yard now She ^Gswings her hips in a stately mi^Dnuet And ^Gthe old man sits on the cow yard rail ^CBanging his pipe on and empty pale Since the ^GBushland Boogie ^Dcame around this ^Gway

For ^Ghis old grey mare and neighbours hack ^CCleared out together to the great outback To ^Gjoin the frolics where the brumbies ^Dplay Every^Gone gets around with a jig and prance And ^Cdreams about the old barn dance Since the ^GBushland Boogie ^Dcame around this ^Gway

Oh de-^Gley-ee-oh, de-^Dley-ee-oh, de-^Gley-dee

Now a ^Gfella coming home from the local pub Took a^Cnother look, gave his eyes a rub And ^Gvery smartly gave the booze a^Dway He ^Gswears by everything that’s true He saw an ^Cemu jazzing with a kangaroo And the ^Gmagpies whistled in the ^Dboogie-woogie ^Gway

Oh, the ^Ggumtrees at the seven mile ^CSwing and sway in the boogie style And the ^Greed beds in the river sweep and^D sway Every^Gone gets around with a jig and prance And ^Cdreams about the old barn dance Since the ^GBushland Boogie ^Dcame around this ^Gway

Oh de-^Gley-ee-oh, de-^Dley-ee-oh, de-^Gley-dee
