[Verse 1]
     Em                               B7
Farewell and adieu to you Brisbane ladies

     Em                                B7
Farewell and adieu to you girls of Toowong

           Em           Am         G                  B7
For we've sold all our cattle and we've got to get a-moving

        Em                             B7          Em
But we hope we hope to be seeing you again before long
[Chorus]
      Em                                         B7
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers

       Em                                B7
we'll rant and we'll roar as onwards we push

   Em       Am     G            B7
Until we return to Augathella station

             Em                          B7              Em
But it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
[Verse 2]
     Em                                       B7
Then on through Taromeo and Yarraman Creek, lads

     Em                                       B7
It's there we shall make our first camp for the day

           Em         Am            G          B7
Where the water and grass is both plenty and sweet, lads

     Em                    B7           Em
And maybe we'll butcher a fat little stray
[Chorus]
      Em                                          B7
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers

       Em                                B7
we'll rant and we'll roar as onwards we push

   Em       Am     G            B7
Until we return to Augathella station

             Em                          B7              Em
But it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
[Verse 3]
         Em                                B7
Then its on past Nanango that hard-bitten township

          Em                                    B7
Where the out of work station hands sit in the dust

            Em           Am          G           B7
Where the shearers get shorn by old Tim the contractor

   Em                          B7          Em
I wouldn't go by there but I flaming well must
[Chorus]
      Em                                         B7
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers

       Em                                B7
we'll rant and we'll roar as onwards we push

   Em       Am     G            B7
Until we return to Augathella station

             Em                          B7              Em
But it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
[Verse 4]
         Em                                B7
But the girls of Toomancy they look so entrancing

 Em                                    B7
Lively young lassies just lookin' for fun

             Em            Am       G             B7
There's the waltz and the polka and all kinds of dancing

        Em                    B7    Em
To the racketty old banjo of Henry Gunn
[Chorus]
      Em                                         B7
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers

       Em                                B7
we'll rant and we'll roar as onwards we push

   Em       Am     G            B7
Until we return to Augathella station

             Em                          B7              Em
But it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
[Verse 5]
     Em                               B7
Farewell and adieu to you Brisbane ladies

     Em                                B7
Farewell and adieu to you girls of Toowong

           Em           Am         G                  B7
For we've sold all our cattle and we've got to get a-moving

        Em                             B7          Em
But we hope we hope to be seeing you again before long
[Outro]
       Em                                        B7
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers

       Em                                B7
We'll rant and we'll roar as onwards we push

   Em       Am     G            B7
Until we return to Augathella station

             Em                          B7              Em
But's it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush

           Em                          B7              Em
Yes it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush

           Em                          B7              Em
And it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
