[Verse]

C F

There's a trade you all know well

C G7

It's bringing cattle over

C F

On every track, to the Gulf and back

C G C

Men know the Queensland drover

[Chorus]

Am F

Pass the billy 'round, me boys

C G7

Don't let the pint pot stand there

C F

For tonight we'll drink the health

C G C

Of every overlander

[Verse]

C F

There are men from every land

C G7

From Spain and France and Flanders

C F

We're a well-mixed pack, both white and black

C G C

Men call the overlanders

[Chorus]

Am F

Pass the billy 'round, me boys

C G7

Don't let the pint pot stand there

C F

For tonight we'll drink the health

C G C

Of every overlander

[Verse]

C F

I come from the northern plains

C G7

Where the girls and grass are scanty

GC F

Where the creeks run dry or ten foot high

C G C

And it's either drought or plenty

[Chorus]

Am F

Pass the billy 'round, me boys

C G7

Don't let the pint pot stand there

C F

For tonight we'll drink the health

C G C

Of every overlander

[Verse]

C F

When we've earned a spree in town

C G7

We live like kings in clover

C F

And a whole month's check goes down the neck

C G C

Of many a Queensland drover

[Chorus]

Am F

Pass the billy 'round, me boys

C G7

Don't let the pint pot stand there

C F

For tonight we'll drink the health

C G C

Of every overlander

[Verse]

C F

As I pass along the road

C G7

The children raise my dander

C F

Crying, "Mother dear, take in the clothes

C G C

Here comes an overlander"

[Chorus]

Am F

Pass the billy 'round, me boys

C G7

Don't let the pint pot stand there

C F

For tonight we'll drink the health

C G C

Of every overlander

[Verse]

C F

Now I'm bound for home once more,

C G7

on a prad that's quite a goer;

C F

I can find a job with a crawling mob

C G C

on the banks of Maranoa

[Chorus]

Am F

Pass the billy 'round, me boys

C G7

Don't let the pint pot stand there

C F

For tonight we'll drink the health

C G C

Of every overlander
