G C G The old time cooks of stock camps, they take their jobs to heart A7 D So I knew that something had occurred to give our cook a start. G C G He shivered like a dingo that had took a poisoned bait C G D G Cursed heaven, earth, and angels, all the souls in hell and fate
[Verse]
D A7 Then shook his fist and muttered, tore his hair and scratched his head D He stamped his feet and shouted, "someone's doped the flamin' bread" G A7 For a little while he pondered then he started off again D G And I sat and thought in silence if the poor old chap was sane.
[Chorus]
G C G Yes, our cook was in a rage it seemed for what I did not know A7 D What him so cantankerous and gave him such a blow G A7 But I knew I'd better watch it if he came to close to me D G For this chorus would be ended and this song would never be [Interlude] D G e|-----|---2---2-|---2-----|---3---3-| B|-----|---3---3-|---3-----|---0---0-| G|-----|---2---2-|---2-----|---0---0-| D|-----|-0-----0-|-0-------|---0-0---| A|-1-2-|-----0---|-----1-0-|---2-----| E|-----|---------|---------|-3-------|
[Verse]
G C G Next he took a sidestep and careered around the packs A7 D Sort of doubled up with pain and grabbed the flamin' axe G C G He turned upon the horse tailor who bolted like a shot C G D G And consigned the whole damn outfit to the regions that are hot
[Verse]
D A7 Next he talked of mongrels and deadbeats that he knew D His curses gettin‘ close to home as round the packs he flew G A7 His rage was so tremendous I'd thought he'd bust a vein D G For he'd really now convinced me that he truly was insane, hey.
[Chorus]
G C G Yes, our cook was in a rage it seemed for what I did not know A7 D What him so cantankerous and gave him such a blow G A7 But I knew I'd better watch it if he came to close to me D G For this chorus would be ended and this song would never be.

[Verse]
G C G He ran around the campfire then kicked the billy can A7 D He must have hurt his toe because he limped now as he ran G C G And this calmed him down a little bit and brought him to a halt C G D G But he scattered all the pepper out and threw away the salt
[Verse]
D A7 All the flour in the pack bags was emptied out as well D Then he collapsed unconscious and lay down where he fell G A7 Oh, he wasn't a bad old chap at heart and harmful not the least D G Oh, the trouble was he'd set the bread but forgot the flamin' yeast.
[Chorus]
G C G Yes, our cook was in a rage it seemed for what I did not know A7 D What him so cantankerous and gave him such a blow G A7 But I knew I'd better watch it if he came to close to me D G For this chorus would be ended and this song would never be.
