W:1
W:I've shore at Burrabogie and I've shore at Toganmain
W:I've shore at Big Willandra and out on the Coleraine

W:All among the wool boys all among the wool
W:Keep your blades full boys keep your blades full
W:I can do a respectable tally myself whenever I like to try
W:And they know me round the backblocks as Flash Jack from Gundagai

W:2
W:I've shore at Big Willandra and I've shore at Tilberoo
W:And once I drew my blades boys upon the famed Barcoo
W:At Cowan Downs and Trida as far as Moulamein
W:But I was always glad to get back again to the One Tree Plain
W:
W:3
W:I've pinked them with the Wolseleys and I've rushed with B-bows too
W:And shaved them in the grease boys with the grass seeds showing through
W:But I never slummed a pen my lads whatever it might contain
W:When shearing for Old Tom Patterson on the One Tree Plain
W:
W:4
W:I've been whaling up the Lachlan and I've dossed on Cooper's Creek
W:And once I rung Cudjingie shed and blued it in a week
W:But when Gabriel blows his trumpet lads I'll catch the morning train
W:And push for Old Tom Patterson's on the One Tree Plain
