Flash Jack From Gundagai Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBCD CDAA EEAADDAA| I've shore at Burrabogie and I've shore at Toganmain | A |
| I've shore at big Willandra and upon the old Coleraine | A |
| But before the shearin' was over I've wished myself back again | A |
| Shearin' for old Tom Patterson on the One Tree Plain | A |
| - | |
| All among the wool boys | B |
| Keep your wide blades full boys | B |
| I can do a respectable tally myself whenever I like to try | C |
| But they know me round the back blocks as Flash Jack from Gundagai | D |
| - | |
| I've shore at big Willandra and I've shore at Tilberoo | C |
| And once I drew my blades my boys upon the famed Barcoo | D |
| At Cowan Downs and Trida as far as Moulamein | A |
| But I always was glad to get back again to the One Tree Plain | A |
| - | |
| I've pinked 'em with the Wolseleys and I've rushed with B bows too | E |
| And shaved 'em in the grease my boys with the grass seed showing through | E |
| But I never slummed my pen my lads whate'er it might contain | A |
| While shearin' for old Tom Patterson on the One Tree Plain | A |
| I've been whalin' up the Lachlan and I've dossed on Cooper's Creek | D |
| And once I rung Cudjingie shed and blued it in a week | D |
| But when Gabriel blows his trumpet lads I'll catch the morning train | A |
| And I'll push for old Tom Patterson's on the One Tree Plain | A |
