"The Ryebuck Shearer"
-Traditional Australian
Chorus
If I don't shear a tally before I go
then my shears and my stone in the river I'll throw
And I'll never open Sawbees to take another blow
And I'll prove I'm a ryebuck shearer
( same chords for chorus & verses )
GI come F#from the Emsouth and my Gname F#it's Emfield
GAnd when my Dshears are A7properly steeled
GA  hunF#dred and Emmore I have Gvery F#often Empeeled,
GAnd of course I'm a Dryebuck GsheaCr-eGr
There's a bloke on the board and I heard him say
That I couldn't shear a hundred sheep in a day
But some fine day I'll show him the way
And prove I'm a ryebuck shearer
There's a bloke on the board and he's got yellow skin
A very long nose and he shaves on the chin
And a voice like a billygoat pissing on a tin
And of course he's a ryebuck shearer
There's a bloke named Bill, or so I've heard
He's got a face like a dried up Buffalow's turd
He thinks he's really good but ya oughta see his bird
She thinks shes a ryebuck shearer

"The Ryebuck Shearer"

-Traditional Australian

Chorus

If I don't shear a tally before I go

then my shears and my stone in the river I'll throw

And I'll never open Sawbees to take another blow

And I'll prove I'm a ryebuck shearer

( same chords for chorus & verses )

G F# Em G F# Em

I come from the south and my name it's field

G D A7

And when my shears are properly steeled

G F# Em G F# Em

A hundred and more I have very often peeled,

G D G C G

And of course I'm a ryebuck shear-er

There's a bloke on the board and I heard him say

That I couldn't shear a hundred sheep in a day

But some fine day I'll show him the way

And prove I'm a ryebuck shearer

There's a bloke on the board and he's got yellow skin

A very long nose and he shaves on the chin

And a voice like a billygoat pissing on a tin

And of course he's a ryebuck shearer

There's a bloke named Bill, or so I've heard

He's got a face like a dried up Buffalow's turd

He thinks he's really good but ya oughta see his bird

She thinks shes a ryebuck shearer
