[Verse]
C
There's a trade you all know well
GD
It's bringing cattle over
GC
On every track, to the Gulf and back
GDG
Men know the Queensland drover
[Chorus]
EmC
Pass the billy 'round, me boys
GD
Don't let the pint pot stand there
GC
For tonight we'll drink the health
GDGDG
Of every overlander
[Verse]
C
There are men from every land
GD
From Spain and France and Flanders
GC
We're a well-mixed pack, both white and black
GDG
Men call the overlanders
[Chorus]
EmC
Pass the billy 'round, me boys
GD
Don't let the pint pot stand there
GC
For tonight we'll drink the health
GDGDG
Of every overlander
[Verse]
C
I come from the northern plains
GD
Where the girls and grass are scanty
GC
Where the creeks run dry or ten foot high
GDG
And it's either drought or plenty
[Chorus]
EmC
Pass the billy 'round, me boys
GD
Don't let the pint pot stand there
GC
For tonight we'll drink the health
GDGDG
Of every overlander
[Verse]
C
When we've earned a spree in town
GD
We live like kings in clover
GC
And a whole month's check goes down the neck
GDG
Of many a Queensland drover
[Chorus]
EmC
Pass the billy 'round, me boys
GD
Don't let the pint pot stand there
GC
For tonight we'll drink the health
GDGDG
Of every overlander
[Verse]
C
As I pass along the road
GD
The children raise my dander
GC
Crying, "Mother dear, take in the clothes
GDG
Here comes an overlander"
[Chorus]
EmC
Pass the billy 'round, me boys
GD
Don't let the pint pot stand there
GC
For tonight we'll drink the health
GDG
Of every overlander
