Seekers
With My Swag All On My Shoulder
When first we left old England's shores Such yarns as we were told
As how folks in Australia could pick up lumps of gold
So when we got to Melbourne Town We were ready soon to slip
And get even with the captain We scuttled from the ship
With my swag all on my shoulder Black billy in my hand
I travelled the bush of Australia Like a true born native man
We steered our course for Portland Town
Then north west of Ballarat Where some of us got mighty thin And some got sleek and fat Some tried their luck at Bindigo And some at Fiery Creek I made a fortune in a day
And spent it in a week With my swag all on my shoulder Letras de cancionesBlack billy in my hand
I travelled the bush of Australia Like a true born native man
So round the tucker tracks I tramp
Nor leave them out of sight My swag's on my left shoulder And then upon my right
And then I take it on my back
And oft upon it lie These are the best of tucker tracks
So I'll stay here till I die With my swag all on my shoulder Black billy in my hand
I travelled the bush of Australia Like a true born native man
I travelled the bush of Australia like a true born native man
