Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGI CJCJKLKL EEEECMCM NONOPEPE NQNQIRIR CBCBESES| THERE S a fresh track down the paddock | A |
| Through the lightwoods to the creek | B |
| And I notice Billy Craddock | A |
| And Maloney do not speak | B |
| And The Snag is slyly bitter | C |
| When he s criticising Bill | D |
| And there s quite a foreign glitter | C |
| On the fellows at the mill | D |
| - | |
| Sid M Mahon s turned out a dandy | E |
| With a masher coat and tie | F |
| And the engine driver Sandy | E |
| Curls his whiskers on the sly | F |
| All the boys wear paper collars | G |
| And their tombstone shirts of nights | H |
| So it s ten to one in dollars | G |
| There s a new girl up at White s | I |
| - | |
| She s a charmer from the river | C |
| But she steeps the lads in gloom | J |
| With her blue eyes all a quiver | C |
| And her hair like wattle bloom | J |
| Though she s pretty and beguiling | K |
| And so lit up like with fun | L |
| That the flowers turn to her smiling | K |
| Just as if she was the sun | L |
| - | |
| But I wish she d leave the valley | E |
| For the camp is dull to me | E |
| Now the mill hands never rally | E |
| For the regulation spree | E |
| And there s not another joker | C |
| Gives a tinker s curse for nap | M |
| Or will take a hand at poker | C |
| Or at euchre with a chap | M |
| - | |
| Tom won t stir us with his fiddle | N |
| By the boilers as he did | O |
| While Bob stepped it in the middle | N |
| And we passed the billy lid | O |
| Ah we had some gay old nights there | P |
| But the boys now don t agree | E |
| And they hang about at White s there | P |
| When they ve togged up after tea | E |
| - | |
| With the gloves we have no battle | N |
| Now they sneak away and moon | Q |
| Round with White discussing cattle | N |
| All the Sunday afternoon | Q |
| There s a want of old uprightness | I |
| Too has come upon the push | R |
| And a sort of cold politeness | I |
| That s not called for in the bush | R |
| - | |
| They re all off too in that quarter | C |
| Kate goes sev ral times a week | B |
| Seeing Andy Kelly s daughter | C |
| Jimmy s sister up the creek | B |
| And this difference seems a pity | E |
| Since their chances are so slim | S |
| While they are running after Kitty | E |
| She is running after Jim | S |
