The Queensland Drover Lyrics by Misc Traditional

Verse 1 There's A Trade You All Know Well It's Bringing Cattle Over On Every Track, To The Gulf And Back Men Know The Queensland Drover Chorus Pass The Billy 'Round, Me Boys Don't Let The Pint Pot Stand There For Tonight We'll Drink The Health Of Every Overlander Verse 2 I Come From The Northern Plains Where The Girls And Grass Are Scanty Where The Creek Run Dry Or Ten Foot High It's Either Drought Or Plenty Chorus Pass The Billy 'Round, Me Boys Don't Let The Pint Pot Stand There For Tonight We'll Drink The Health Of Every Overlander Verse 3 There Are Men From Every Land, From Spain And France And Flanders We're A Well-Mixed Pack, Both White And Black, The Queensland Overlanders Chorus Pass The Billy 'Round, Me Boys Don't Let The Pint Pot Stand There For Tonight We'll Drink The Health Of Every Overlander Verse 4 When We've Earned A Spree In Town We Live Like Kings In Clover And The Whole Damn Check Goes Down The Neck Of Many A Queensland Drover Chorus Pass The Billy 'Round, Me Boys Don't Let The Pint Pot Stand There For Tonight We'll Drink The Health Of Every Overlander Verse 5 As I Pass Along The Road The Children Raise My Dander Crying, "Mother Dear, Take In The Clothes Here Comes An Overlander" Chorus Pass The Billy 'Round, Me Boys Don't Let The Pint Pot Stand There For Tonight We'll Drink The Health Of Every Overlander Verse 6 Now I'm Bound For Home Once More On A Prad That's Quite A Goer; I Can Find A Job With A Crawling Mob On The Banks Of Maranoa Chorus Pass The Billy 'Round, Me Boys Don't Let The Pint Pot Stand There For Tonight We'll Drink The Health Of Every Overlander
