[Verse]
There's a trade you all know Cwell
It's Gbringing cattle Dover
On Gevery track, to the CGulf and back
Men Gknow the Queensland DdroGver
[Chorus]
EmPass the billy 'round, me Cboys
Don't Glet the pint pot Dstand there
For toGnight we'll drink the Chealth
Of Gevery overDlanGderD  G  
[Verse]
There are men from every Cland
From GSpain and France and DFlanders
We're a Gwell-mixed pack, both Cwhite and black
Men Gcall the overDlanGders
[Chorus]
EmPass the billy 'round, me Cboys
Don't Glet the pint pot Dstand there
For toGnight we'll drink the Chealth
Of Gevery overDlanGderD  G

I come from the northern Cplains
Where the Ggirls and grass are Dscanty
Where the Gcreeks run dry or Cten foot high
And it's Geither drought or DplenGty

EmPass the billy 'round, me Cboys
Don't Glet the pint pot Dstand there
For toGnight we'll drink the Chealth

When we've earned a spree in Ctown
We Glive like kings in Dclover
And a Gwhole month's check goes Cdown the neck
Of Gmany a Queensland DdroGver

Don't Glet the pint pot Dstand there
For toGnight we'll drink the Chealth
Of Gevery overDlanGderD  G

As I pass along the Croad
The Gchildren raise my Ddander
Crying, "GMother dear, take Cin the clothes
Here Gcomes an overDlanGder"
[Chorus]
EmPass the billy 'round, me Cboys
Don't Glet the pint pot Dstand there
For toGnight we'll drink the Chealth
Of Gevery overDlanGder
