Air Ten Thousand Miles AwayA

-
Hurrah for the Roma railway Hurrah for Cobb and CoB
And oh for a good fat horse or two to carry me Westward HoB
To carry me Westward Ho my boys that's where the cattle strayA
On the far Barcoo where they eat nardoo a thousand miles awayA
-
ChorusC
-
Then give your horses rein across the open plainD
We'll ship our meat both sound and sweet nor care what some folks sayA
And frozen we'll send home the cattle that now roamE
On the far Barcoo and the Flinders too a thousand miles awayA
-
Knee deep in grass we've got to pass for the truth I'm bound to tellF
Where in three weeks the cattle get as fat as they can swellF
-
As fat as they can swell my boys a thousand pounds they weighA
On the far Barcoo where they eat nardoo a thousand miles awayA
-
Chorus Then give your horses rein cG
-
No Yankee hide e'er grew outside such beef as we can freezeH
No Yankee pastures make such steers as we send o'er the seasH
As we send o'er the seas my boys a thousand pounds they weighA
From the far Barcoo where they eat nardoo a thousand miles awayA
-
Chorus Then give your horses rein cG
