[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
