Lyrics With My Swag All On My Shoulder - The Seekers
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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
I
travelled
the
bush
of
Australia
like
a
true-born
native
man.
