[Intro]
D G A7 D
[Verse]
D Barefoot in the cabin, 'cause she lost her shoes in mud A7 G D When tying on a tow rope and the heavens opened up G With the track all wet and slipp'ry as a pork chop in the rain A7 D She kicked the motor over, had another go again
[Verse]
A7 G D Oh, the old truck groaned and tried to move, but didn't have a chance A7 G D Bogged down to the axle, so Toots dragged out the axe G Cut down some branches, to put underneath the tires A7 D Set to work with spade in hands, ankle deep in mire
[Chorus]
D G Hey, I'm tellin' you it's true, the truckie was a lady D A7 Everybody knew her, from Weipa to the Gulf D G From Cairns to Edward River, and on all the Cape York stations A7 D Toots the lady truckie, is a legend in the north, hey.
[Interlude]
D D G A7 D
[Verse]
D The truckie was a lady and they say she loved the life A7 G D She helped him make ends meet, for she was mother and a wife G Her old flat top would battle on underneath it's heavy load A7 D Cartin' forty-fours of fuel on tracks you wouldn't call a road
[Verse]
A7 G D Ah, but she's a bloody character, you could hear the bush folks say A7 G D She laughed and joked at Weipa as she loaded up one day G Standing by the wheels and yawning, Toot's ran out of luck A7 D A crane went wild and crushed her up against her sturdy truck
[Chorus]
D G I'm tellin' you it's true, the lady was a truckie D A7 Everybody knew her, from Weipa to the Gulf D G From Cairns to Edward River, and on all the Cape York stations A7 D Toots the lady truckie, is a legend in the north.
[Chorus]
D G I'm tellin' you it's true, the lady was a truckie D A7 Everybody knew her, from Weipa to the Gulf D G From Cairns to Edward River, and on all the Cape York stations A7 D Toots the lady truckie, is a legend in the north.
[Outro]
