trevor lucas – on the banks of the condamine lyrics
“oh hark! the dogs are barking, i can no longer stay
the men have all gone mustering, i heard the publican say
and i must be off in the morning, love, before the sun does shine
to meet the contract shearers on the banks of the condamine.”
“oh willie, dearest willie, don’t leave me here to mourn
don’t make be curse and rue the day that ever i was born
for parting with you, willie, it’s like parting with my life
so stay and be a selector, love, and i will be your wife.”
“oh nancy, dearest nancy, you know that i must go
old halloran is expectin’ me his shearin’ for to do
but when i’m on the board, my love, i’ll think of you with pride
and my shears they will go freely when i’m on the whippin’ side.”
“oh, i’ll cut off my yellow hair and go along with you
i’ll dress myself in men’s attire and be a shearer too
i’ll cook and count your tally, love, while ringer-o you shine
and i’ll wash your greasy moleskins on the banks of the condamine.”
“oh nancy, dearest nancy, you know that can’t be so
the boss has given orders, love, no women shall do so
and your delicate const-tution’s not equal unto mine
to eat the ram-stag mutton on the banks of the condamine.”
“but when the shearin’s over, love, i’ll make you my wife
i’ll take up a selection and i’ll settle down for life
and when the day’s work’s over, love, and the evening’s clear and fine
i’ll tell of them sandy cobblers on the banks of the condamine.”
