The Overlanders

There's a trade you all know well
 And it's bringing cattle over
 On every track to the gulf and back
 Men know the Queensland drover
 So pass the billy round boys
 Don't let the pint pot stand there
 For tonight we'll drink the health
 Of every Overlander
 I come from the Northern plains
 Where the girls and grass are scanty
 Where the creeks run dry or ten feet high
 And it's either drought or plenty
 So pass the billy round boys
 Don't let the pint pot stand there
 For tonight we'll drink the health
 Of every Overlander
 There are men from every land
 From Spain and France and Flanders
 They're a well mixed pack, both white and black
 The Queensland Overlanders
 So pass the billy round boys
 Don't let the pint pot stand there
 For tonight we'll drink the health
 Of every Overlander
 When we've earned a spree in town
 We live like pigs in clover
 And the whole dam cheque pours down the neck
 Of many a Queensland drover
 So pass the billy round boys
 Don't let the pint pot stand there
 For tonight we'll drink the health
 Of every Overlander
 As I pass along the road
 The children raise my dander
 Shouting "Mother dear, take in the clothes
 Here comes an Overlander"
 So pass the billy round boys
 Don't let the pint pot stand there
 For tonight we'll drink the health
 Of every Overlander
