[Verse 1]
G A7 I was born on the Murranji, I tell yer mate Im a Dinki-di D G D Ringer from the northern territ'ry G A7 My mother raised me on the track my daddy never did come back D G So I'm not too sure about my pedigree
[Verse 2]
G A7 But I'm a bloke whats knocked around I've seen the city seen the towns D G D And I'm well known in social circles too G A7 At the Mataranka races I get up and show my faces D G And the ladies take in everything I do
[Verse 3]
G A7 Yeah, I've drank Georgina water and I crossed the Queensland border D G D And I've dance the claypan boogie through the night G A7 Been drovin down the Cooper and while in a drunken stupor D G With my beery breath blew out the min min light. Play there Charlie

[Verse 4]
G A7 Oh, I've boiled my quart with a combihole, a haunted place so I've been told D G D But all I saw was a Bunyip and his mate G A7 They were lazin' 'neath the coolibah, yarnin' with a mad galah D G While a pelican was fishin' round for bait.
[Verse 5]
G A7 Oh, I lost my heart to Julia creek a western beauty so to speak D G D But I overstayed my welcome there abouts G A7 She heard me mention Alice Springs told me where to put my ring D G And old man Sandy Flinders threw me out
[Verse 6]
G A7 So I rolled my swag and I hit the track I never stopped I never looked back D G D Till I was in the Northern Territ'ry G A7 I'm never gonna roam no more I'm gonna live till I'm 94 D G And if I ain't dead then you can come and bury me. Here we go again Charlie

G A7 Oh, roll me up in my old swag wrap tie me down with a hobble strap D G D Lay me deep where the dogs can't dig me up G A And I dont care where you bury me as long as its in the Territory D G And not too far from Mataranka pub
[Verse 8]
G A7 Oh, I've drank Georgina water and I've crossed the Queensland border D G D And I've dance the claypan boogie through the night G A7 Been drovin down the Cooper and while in a drunken stupor D G With my beery breath blew out the min min light. That's it theres no more.
