[Verse 1]
Em C G
Farewell and adieu to you Brisbane ladies
Em C D7
Farewell and adieu to you girls of Toowong
G D7 Em G
For we've sold all our cattle and have to get moving
C Em B7 Em
But we hope we shall see you again before long
[Chorus]
Em C G
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Em C D7
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
G D7 Em G
Until we return to Augathella station
C Em B7 Em
For it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
[Verse 2]
Em C G
The first camp we make we'll call it the Quart Pot
Em C D7
Caboolture then Kilcoy and Colinton's hut
G D7 Em G
We'll pull up at the Stone House, Bob Williamson's paddock
C Em B7 Em
And early next morning we’ll cross the Blackbutt
[Chorus]
Em C G
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Em C D7
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
G D7 Em G
Until we return to Augathella station

For it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
[Verse 3]
Em C G
Then onto Taromeo and Yarraman Creek, lads
Em C D7
It's there we shall make our next camp for the day
G D7 Em G
Where the water and grass are both plenty and sweet, lads
C Em B7 Em
And maybe we'll butcher a fat little stray
[Chorus]
Em C G
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Em C D7
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
G D7 Em G
Until we return to Augathella station
C Em B7 Em
For it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
[Verse 4]
Em C G
Then onto Nanango that hard-bitten township
Em C D7
Where the out of work station hands sit in the dust
G D7 Em G
And the shearers get shorn by old Tim the contractor
C Em B7 Em
I wouldn't go by there but I flaming well must
[Chorus]
Em C G
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Em C D7
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
G D7 Em G
Until we return to Augathella station
C Em B7 Em
For it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
[Verse 5]
Em C G
The girls of Toomancy they look so entrancing
Em C D7
Those young lively heifers are out for their fun
G D7 Em G
With the waltz and the polka and all kinds of dancing
C Em B7 Em
To the racketty old banjo of Henry Gunn
[Chorus]
Em C G
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Em C D7
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
G D7 Em G
Until we return to Augathella station
C Em B7 Em
For it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
[Verse 6]
Em C G
Then fill up your glasses and drink to the lasses
Em C D7
We'll drink this town dry then farewell 'em all
G D7 Em G
And when we return to Augathella station
C Em B7 Em
We hope you'll come by there and pay us a call
[Chorus]
Em C G
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers

Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
G D7 Em G
Until we return to Augathella station
C Em B7 Em
For it's flaming dry going through the old Queensland bush
