Queensland Overlanders Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[G] [D] [G] [D] [G]

[VERSE]
There's a trade you all know [C]well
It's [G]bringing cattle [D]over
On [G]every track, to the [C]Gulf and back
Men [G]know the Queensland [D]dro[G]ver

[CHORUS]
[Em]Pass the billy 'round, me [C]boys
Don't [G]let the pint pot [D]stand there
For to[G]night we'll drink the [C]health
Of [G]every over[D]lan[G]der [D] [G]

[VERSE]
There are men from every [C]land
From [G]Spain and France and [D]Flanders
We're a [G]well-mixed pack, both [C]white and black
Men [G]call the over[D]lan[G]ders

[CHORUS]
[Em]Pass the billy 'round, me [C]boys
Don't [G]let the pint pot [D]stand there
For to[G]night we'll drink the [C]health
Of [G]every over[D]lan[G]der [D] [G]

[VERSE]
I come from the northern [C]plains
Where the [G]girls and grass are [D]scanty
Where the [G]creeks run dry or [C]ten foot high
And it's [G]either drought or [D]plen[G]ty

[CHORUS]
[Em]Pass the billy 'round, me [C]boys
Don't [G]let the pint pot [D]stand there
For to[G]night we'll drink the [C]health
Of [G]every over[D]lan[G]der [D] [G]

[VERSE]
When we've earned a spree in [C]town
We [G]live like kings in [D]clover
And a [G]whole month's check goes [C]down the neck
Of [G]many a Queensland [D]dro[G]ver

[CHORUS]
[Em]Pass the billy 'round, me [C]boys
Don't [G]let the pint pot [D]stand there
For to[G]night we'll drink the [C]health
Of [G]every over[D]lan[G]der [D] [G]

[VERSE]
As I pass along the [C]road
The [G]children raise my [D]dander
Crying, "[G]Mother dear, take [C]in the clothes
Here [G]comes an over[D]lan[G]der"

[CHORUS]
[Em]Pass the billy 'round, me [C]boys
Don't [G]let the pint pot [D]stand there
For to[G]night we'll drink the [C]health
Of [G]every over[D]lan[G]der
