There's a fresh track down the paddockA
Through the lightwoods to the creekB
And I notice Billy CraddockA
And Maloney do not speakB
And The Snag is slyly bitterC
When he's criticising BillD
And there's quite a foreign glitterC
On the fellows at the millD
-
Sid M'Mahon's turned out a dandyE
With a masher coat and tieF
And the engine driver SandyE
Curls his whiskers on the slyF
All the boys wear paper collarsG
And their tombstone shirts of nightsH
So it's ten to one in dollarsG
There's a new girl up at White'sH
-
She's a charmer from the riverC
But she steeps the lads in gloomI
With her blue eyes all a quiverC
And her hair like wattle bloomI
Though she's pretty and beguilingJ
And so lit up like with funK
That the flowers turn to her smilingJ
Just as if she was the sunK
-
But I wish she'd leave the valleyE
For the camp is dull to meE
Now the mill hands never rallyE
For the regulation spreeE
And there's not another jokerC
Gives a tinker's curse for napL
Or will take a hand at pokerC
Or at euchre with a chapL
-
Tom won't stir us with his fiddleM
By the boilers as he didN
While Bob stepped it in the middleM
And we passed the billy lidN
Ah we had some gay old nights thereO
But the boys now don't agreeE
And they hang about at White's thereO
When they've togged up after teaE
-
With the gloves we have no battleM
Now they sneak away and moonP
Round with White discussing cattleM
All the Sunday afternoonP
There's a want of old uprightnessH
Too has come upon the pushQ
And a sort of cold politenessH
That's not called for in the bushQ
-
They're all off too in that quarterC
Kate goes sev'ral times a weekB
Seeing Andy Kelly's daughterC
Jimmy's sister up the creekB
And this difference seems a pityE
Since their chances are so slimR
While they are running after KittyE
She is running after JimR
