Click Go The Shears/The Overlander Trail/Waltzing Matilda - Slim Dusty

Composed by：Trad./Darling/A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson

Out on the board the old shearer stands

Grasping the shears in his thin bony hands

Fixed is his gaze on a bare-bellied joe

Glory if he gets her won't he make the ringer go

Click go the shears boys click click click

Wide is his blow as his hands move quick

The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow

And he curses the old snagger with the bare-bellied joe

Shearing is all over and we've all got our cheques

Roll up your swags boys

We're off on the tracks

The first pub that we come to

It's there we'll have a spree

And everyone who comes along

It's come and drink with me

Click go the shears boys click click click

Wide is his blow as his hands move quick

The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow

And he curses the old snagger with the bare-bellied joe

We're on the overlander overlander trail

Where only sheer determination will prevail

Men of hussy with a job to do

So they'll stick and drive the cattle through

And 'though they sweat and curse

They know they surely must

Keep on the trail that winds ahead

Through heat and dust

All sons of hussy and they will not fail

They're on the overlander overlander trail

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

Under the shade of a coolibah tree

And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong

Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee

And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
