With My Swag All On My Shoulder - The Seekers[00:00:00]
When first we left old England's shores[00:00:06]
Such yarns as we were told[00:00:08]
As how folks in Australia[00:00:11]
Could pick up lumps of gold[00:00:15]
So when we got to Melbourne town[00:00:17]
We were ready soon to slip[00:00:19]
And get even with the captain[00:00:21]
We scuttled from the ship[00:00:25]
With my swag all on my shoulder[00:00:27]
Black billy in my hand[00:00:30]
I travelled the bush of Australia[00:00:32]
Like a true born native man[00:00:36]
We steered our course for Portland town[00:00:38]
Then north west of Ballarat[00:00:41]
Where some of us got mighty thin[00:00:43]
And some got sleek and fat[00:00:46]
Some tried their luck at Bindigo[00:00:49]
And some at fiery creek[00:00:51]
I made a fortune in a day and spent it in a week[00:00:53]
With my swag all on my shoulder[00:00:59]
Black billy in my hand[00:01:02]
I travelled the bush of Australia[00:01:04]
Like a true born native man[00:01:08]
So round the tucker tracks I tramp[00:01:10]
Nor leave them out of sight[00:01:12]
My swag's on my left shoulder[00:01:14]
And then upon my right[00:01:18]
And then I take it on my back and oft upon it lie[00:01:20]
These are the best of tucker tracks[00:01:25]
So I'll stay here till I die[00:01:28]
With my swag all on my shoulder[00:01:31]
Black billy in my hand[00:01:33]
I travelled the bush of Australia[00:01:35]
Like a true born native man[00:01:39]
I travelled the bush of Australia[00:01:41]
Like a true born native man[00:01:47]
