paroles de chanson Whistle As You Go - Sara Storer

Down at the wool shed the news is spreading fast
Paddy Ryans working on McMunnie's farm
He's way to young, he won't keep up
He hasn't got the strength
You need a bloody fast boy if he's coming in this shed

Oh, Gilly how's that smoko
A shearer takes a blow
Before your shears can click boys
It's over with the show
The cutters stop, the fleece is off
Oh whistle as you go
And don't forget the roustabout
Another perfect throw

The floor board smell is oily
Mixed with damp and wool
The rouse is right behind him
He won't be made a fool
He's planned ahead and it won't take long
And before we're nearly though
A shearer yells out rattle and grabs another ewe

Oh, Gilly how's that smoko
A shearer takes a blow
Before your shears can click boys
It's over with the show
The cutters stop, the fleece is off
Oh whistle as you go
And don't forget the roustabout
Another perfect throw

They're talking in the wool shed
Paddy's got a girl
How you gonna keep her
Your muscles need some work
But Paddy laughs along with them
And still he has no doubt
One day he's gonna shear like them
And stir the roustabout

Oh, Gilly how's that smoko
A shearer takes a blow
Before your shears can click boys
It's over with the show
The cutters stop, the fleece is off
Oh whistle as you go
And don't forget the roustabout
Another perfect throw

It's nearly time to knock off
Cut out and that'll do
Gilly's on the last side
He got the gun for two
Roll out your swag and set up camp
We'll catch a beer in town
Scruff the roustabout I said I think you're coming round

Oh, Gilly how's that smoko
A shearer takes a blow
Before your shears can click boys
It's over with the show
The cutters stop, the fleece is off
Oh whistle as you go
And don't forget the roustabout
Another perfect throw

No don't forget the roustabout
Another perfect throw
No don't forget the roustabout
Another perfect throw
