1
When first we left old England's shores
2
Such yarns as we were told
3
As how folks in Australia
4
could pick up lumps of gold
5
So when we got to Melbourne Town
6
We were ready soon to slip
7
And get even with the captain
8
We scuttled from the ship
9
With my swag all on my shoulder
10
Black billy in my hand
11
I travelled the bush of Australia
12
Like a true born native man
13
We steered our course for Portland Town
14
Then north west of Ballarat
15
Where some of us got mighty thin
16
And some got sleek and fat
17
Some tried their luck at Bindigo
18
And some at Fiery Creek
19
I made a fortune in a day
20
And spent it in a week
21
With my swag all on my shoulder
22
Black billy in my hand
23
I travelled the bush of Australia
24
Like a true born native man
25
So round the tucker tracks I tramp
26
Nor leave them out of sight
27
My swag's on my left shoulder
28
And then upon my right
29
And then I take it on my back
30
And oft upon it lie
31
These are the best of tucker tracks
32
So I'll stay here till I die
33
With my swag all on my shoulder
34
Black billy in my hand
35
I travelled the bush of Australia
36
Like a true born native man
37
I travelled the bush of Australia like a true born native man
