[Intro]
E A7 D
[Verse]
When the caravans of woolteams climbed the ranges from the West,
On a spur among the mountains stood 'The Bullock-drivers' Rest';
It was built of barks and saplings, and was rather rough inside,
But was good enough for bushmen in the careless days that died
Just a quiet little shanty kept by 'Something-in-Disguise',
As the bushmen called the landlord of the Shanty on the Rise.
[Verse]
'Twas the bullock driver's haven when his team was on the road,
And the wagon wheels were groaning as they ploughed beneath the load;
I remember how the teamsters struggled on while it was light,
Just to camp within a cooey of the Shanty for the night;
And I think the very bullocks raised their heads and fixed their eyes
On the candles in the window of the Shanty on the Rise.
[Verse]
And the bullock bells were clanking from the marshes on the flats
As we hurried to the Shanty, where we hung our dripping hats;
Then we took a drop of something that was bought at our desire,
As we stood with steaming moleskins in the kitchen by the fire.
Oh, it roared upon a fireplace of the good, old-fashioned size,
When the rain came down the chimney of the Shanty on the Rise.
[Interlude]
E A7 D
[Verse]
They got up a Christmas party in the Shanty long ago,
While we camped with Jimmy Nowlett on the riverbank below;
Poor old Jim was in his glory — they'd elected him M.C.,
For there wasn't such another raving lunatic as he.
'Mr. Dowlett, Mr. Dusty!' shouted Something-in-Disguise,
As we walked into the parlour of the Shanty on the Rise.
[Verse]
Jimmy came to me and whispered, oh I muttered, 'Go along!'
But he shouted, 'Mr. Dusty will oblige us with a song!'
And at first I said I wouldn't, and I shammed a little too,
Till the girls began to whisper, 'We're all waiting now for you!'
So I sang a song of something 'bout the love that never dies,
And the chorus shook the rafters of the Shanty on the Rise.
[Verse]
Jimmy burst his concertina, and the bullock drivers went
For the corpse of Joe the Fiddler, who was sleeping in his tent;
Joe was tired and had lumbago, and he wouldn't come, he said,
But the case was very urgent, so they pulled him out of bed;
And they fetched him, for the bushmen knew that Something-in-Disguise
Had a cure for Joe's lumbago in the Shanty on the Rise.
[Interlude]
E A7 D
[Verse]
I suppose the Shanty vanished from the ranges long ago,
And the girls are mostly married to the chaps I used to know;
My old mates are in the distance — some have crossed the border-line,
But in fancy still their glasses clink against the rim of mine.
And, upon the very centre of the greenest spot that lies
In my fondest recollection, stands the Shanty on the Rise.
