It was while we held our races	A
Hurdles sprints and steplechases	A
Up in Dandaloo	B
That a crowd of Sydney stealers	A
Jockeys pugilists and spielers	A
Brought some horses real heelers	A
Came and put us through	C
Beat our nags and won our money	D
Made the game by np means funny	D
Made us rather blue	C
When the racing was concluded	E
Of our hard earned coin denuded	F
Dandaloonies sat and brooded	F
There in Dandaloo	C
	-
	-
	-
Night came down on Johnson's shanty	D
Where the grog was no way scanty	D
And a tumult grew	C
Till some wild excited person	G
Galloped down the township cursing	H
Sydney push have mobbed Macpherson	G
Roll up Dandaloo	C
	-
Great St Denis what commotion	G
Like the rush of stormy ocean	G
Fiery horsemen flew	C
Dust and smoke and din and rattle	C
Down the street they spurred their cattle	C
To the war cry of the battle	C
Wade in Dandaloo	C
	-
So the boys might have their fight out	I
Johnson blew the bar room light out	I
Then in haste withdrew	C
And in darkness and in doubting	H
Raged the conflict and the shouting	H
Give the Sydney push a clouting	H
Go it Dandaloo	C
	-
Jack Macpherson seized a bucket	J
Every head he saw he struck it	K
Struck in earnest too	C
And a man from Lower Wattle	C
Whom a shearer tried to throttle	C
Hit out freely with a bottle	C
There in Dandaloo	C
	-
Skin and hair were flying thickly	C
When a light was fetched and quickly	C
Brought a fact to view	C
On the scene of the diversion	G
Every single solid person	G
Come along to help Macpherson	G
All were Dandaloo	C
	-
When the list of slain was tabled	L
Some were drunk and some disabled	L
Still we found it true	C
In the darkness and the smother	M
We'd been belting one another	M
Jack Macpherson bashed his brother	M
There in Dandaloo	C
	-
So we drank and all departed	E
How the mobbing yarn was started	E
No one ever knew	C
And the stockmen tell the story	C
Of that conflict fierce and gory	C
How he fought for love and glory	C
Up in Dandaloo	C
	-
It's a proverb now or near it	K
At the races you can hear it	K
At the dog fights too	C
Every shrieking dancing drover	M
As the canines topple over	M
Yells applause to Grip or Rover	M
Give him 'Dandaloo'	C
	-
And the teamster slowly toiling	H
Through the deep black country soiling	H
Wheels and axles too	C
Lays the whip on Spot and Banker	M
Rouses Tarboy with a flanker	M
Redman Ginger Heave there Yank her	M
Wade in Dandaloo	C
