[Intro]

[Verse]
N.C. A
Oh, the old stag leaned against the fence, he was too poor to walk,
And as the butcher sharpened up his knife the beast began to talk
N.C. A
“Misguided man”, the bull stag cried, “don’t perpetrate this crime.
Don't sell me to your customers and tell them that I'm prime.”
[Verse]
N.C. A
“For I was Thirty-two last Christmas day and bred by Johnny Rudd
And for nine-teen long and happy years, a monarch of his stud
N.C. A
But alas my master sold me and put me out to work
With the hair and hide flogged off me from Merinda out to Bourke.
[Verse]
N.C. A
For years across the scorched Peru with never a day to spare,
Oh, my master kept me to the yoke, and Moses could he swear!
N.C. A
Oh, I've cancers, bots and pleura, oh, I scarce can draw my breath,
Pray let me drag my bones aside and die a natural death.”
[Verse]
N.C. A
The butcher laughed a greasy laugh, while poking out his tongue,
"I'll tell them that you're lucerne fed, And I'll tell them that you're young.
N.C. A
They do not know of what they eat, you know, the people of this town,
And God sends the likes of you old chap to keep the prices down.”
[Verse]
N.C. A
And with that he knocked the old stag down and made him into snags
Next day he winked the other eye as he dealt them out the stag.
N.C. A
“And should any of my patrons die from the catching of your ills,
I hope it may be some of those who never pay their bills.”
[Outro]
