"Click Go the Shears / The Overlander Trail / Waltzing Matilda" lyrics

[Click Go the Shears:]

Out on the board the old shearer stands
Grasping the shears in his thin, bony hands
Fixed is his gaze on a bare-bellied Joe
Glory if he gets her, won't he make the ringer go!

Click go the shears, boys, click, click, click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare-bellied Joe

Shearing is all over and we've all got our cheques
Roll up your swag, boys, we're off on the tracks
The first pub we come to, it's there we'll have a spree
And everyone who comes along, it's, "Come and drink with me"

Click go the shears, boys, click, click, click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare-bellied Joe

[The Overlander Trail:]

We're on the Overlander, Overlander trail
Where only sheer determination will prevail
Men of Aussie with a job to do
So they'll stick and drive the cattle through
And though they sweat and curse, they know they surely must
Keep on the trail that winds ahead through heat and dust
All sons of Aussie and they will not fail
They're on the Overlander, Overlander trail

[Waltzing Matilda:]

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
