a. l. lloyd – the cockies of bungaree lyrics
come all you weary travellers that’s out of work just mind
you take a trip to bungaree and plenty there you’ll find
have a trial with the c-ckies, you can take it straight from me
i’m very sure you’ll rue the day you first saw bungaree
well how i come this weary way i mean to let you know
being out of employment i didn’t know where to go
so i went to the registry office and there i did agree
to take a job of clearing for a c-cky in bungaree
his homestead was of surface mud, the roof of mouldy thatch
the doors and windows hung by a nail with never a bolt or catch
the chickens laid eggs on the table such a sight you never did see
one laid an egg in the old tin plate of the c-cky of bungaree
well, it’s early the very next morning, it was the usual go
he rattled a plate for breakfast before the sun did show
the stars were shining glorious and the moon was high, you see
i thought before the sun would rise i’d die in bungaree
by the time i come into supper, it was just on half past nine
and when i had it eat i reckon it was my bedtime
but the c-cky he come over to me and he says with a merry laugh
i want you now for an hour or two to cut a bail of chaff
well, when the work was over, i had to nurse the youngest child
whenever i cracked a bit of a joke the missus she would smile
the old feller he got jealous, looked like he’d murder me
and there he sat and whipped the cat, the c-cky in bungaree
well, when i’d done my first week’s work i reckoned i’d had enough
i went up to that c-cky and asked him for me stuff
i came down into ballarat and it didn’t take me long
i went straight into sayer’s hotel and blued me one pound one
so now me job is over and i’m at liberty
i’ll never forget the day i met that c-cky in bungaree
