Augathella Station or Brisbane Ladies


VERSE 1
Em                        C              G
Farewell and adieu to you sweet Brisbane ladies
    Em                    C           D7
Farewell and adieu to you girls of Toowong
          G            D7         Em
For we've sold all our cattle and have to be moving
                     C        B7          Em
But we hope we shall see you again before long


CHORUS
Em                             C               G
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
      Em                     C          D7
We'll rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
  G          D7          Em
Until we get back to the Augathella Station
                     C                 B7             Em
For it's flamin' dry goin' through the old Queensland bush


VERSE 2
The first camp we make, we shall call it Quartpot
Caboolture, then Kilcoy and Colinton's Hut
We'll pull up the Stone House, Bob Williamson's paddock
And early next morning we cross the Blackbutt

VERSE 3
Then on to Taromeo and Yarraman Creek lads
It's there we shall mak our next camp for the day
Where the water and grass are both plenty and sweet lads
And maybe we'll butcher a fat little stray

VERSE 4
Then on to Nanango that hard bitten township
Where the out of work station hands sit in the dust
And the shearers get shorn by old Tim the contactor
Oh I wouldn't go near there, but I flaming well must

VERSE 5
The girls of Toomancey, they look so entrancing
Those young bawling heifers are out for their fun
With the waltz and the polka and all kinds of dancing
To the racketty old banjo of Bob Anderson

VERSE 6
Then we'll fill up our glasses and drink to the lasses
We'll drink this town dry, then farewell to them all
And when we've got back to the Augathella Station
We'll hope you come by there and pay us a call.
