Ryebuck Shearer
Traditional

G 		Em	     G	     Em
I come from the south and my name is Field
    G		       	    A        D
And when my shears they are properly steeled 
       G                      C          G
It's a hundred or more I have very often peeled
			    D     G
And of course I'm a ryebuck shearer

Chorus
G                 Em      G      Em
If I dont shear a tally before I go
   G			   A          D
My shears and stone in the river I'll throw
         G                     C            G
And I'll never open Sawbees or take another blow
			   D     G
Till I prove I'm a ryebuck shearer

VERSE 2
There's a bloke on the board and I heard him say
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

CHORUS

VERSE 3
There's a bloke on the board and he's got a leather skin
A very long nose and a wart on the chin
And a voice like a billy goat pissing in a tin
And of course he's a ryebuck shearer

CHORUS

VERSE 4
There's a bloke up north or so I've heard
With a face like a dried up buffalo turd
And if you think that's bad well you ought to see his bird
She looks like a ryebuck shearer

CHORUS

VERSE 5
Oh I'll make a splash but I wont say when
I'll up off me arse and I'll into the pen
While the ringer's shearing eight mate I'll be shearing ten
And I'll prove I'm a ryebuck shearer
