[Chorus]
It's Gall for me grog, me Cjolly, jolly Ggrog
It's all for me beer and tobD7acco
'Gcos I spent all my tin in the Cshanty drinking Ggin
Now across the Western Plains I must D7wandGer
[Verse 1]
I'm Gstiff and stony broke and I've Cparted with my Gsmoke
And the sky is looking black as D7thunder
And the Gboss of the shanty too, for I Chaven't got a Gsou
That's how they treat you when you're down and D7undeGr
[Chorus]
It's Gall for me grog, me Cjolly, jolly Ggrog
It's all for me beer and tobD7acco
'Gcos I spent all my tin in the Cshanty drinking Ggin
Now across the Western Plains I must D7wandGer
[Verse 2]
I'm Gcrook in the head, for I Chaven't been to Gbed
Since I first touched this shanty with my D7plunder
I see Gcentipedes and snakes, and I'm Cfull of aches and Gshakes
So I'd better make a push out over D7yondGer
[Chorus]
It's Gall for me grog, me Cjolly, jolly Ggrog
It's all for me beer and tobD7acco
'Gcos I spent all my tin in the Cshanty drinking Ggin
Now across the Western Plains I must D7wandGer
[Verse 3]
ReGpentance brings reproof, so I Csadly pad the Ghoof
All day I see the mirage of the D7trees
But Git'll all have an end when I Creach the river Gbend
And listen to the sighing of the D7breezGe
[Chorus]
It's Gall for me grog, me Cjolly, jolly Ggrog
It's all for me beer and tobD7acco
'Gcos I spent all my tin in the Cshanty drinking Ggin
Now across the Western Plains I must D7wandGer
