《Click Go The Shears》歌词

[00:00:00] Click Go The Shears - The Aussie Bush Band

[00:00:09] Out on the board the old shearer stands

[00:00:13] Grasping his shears in his long bony hands

[00:00:16] Fixed is his gaze on a bare bellied "joe"

[00:00:20] Glory if he gets her won't he make the ringer go

[00:00:25] Click go the shears boys click click click

[00:00:29] Wide is his blow and his hands move quick

[00:00:32] The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow

[00:00:36] And curses the old snagger with the blue bellied "joe"

[00:00:40] In the middle of the floor in his caneebottomede chair

[00:00:44] Is the boss of the board with eyes everywhere

[00:00:48] Notes well each fleece as it comes to the screen

[00:00:52] Paying strict attention if it's taken off clean

[00:00:56] Click go the shears boys click click click

[00:01:01] Wide is his blow and his hands move quick

[00:01:04] The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow

[00:01:08] And curses the old snagger with the blue bellied "joe"

[00:01:12] The colonial experience man he is there of course

[00:01:17] With his shiny leggin's just got off his horse

[00:01:20] Casting round his eye like a real connoisseur

[00:01:24] Oh whistling the old tune "I'm the Perfect Lure"

[00:01:28] Click go the shears boys click click click

[00:01:33] Wide is his blow and his hands move quick

[00:01:36] The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow

[00:01:40] And curses the old snagger with the blue bellied "joe"

[00:01:44] The tar-boy is there awaiting in demand

[00:01:49] With his blackened tar-pot and his tarry hand

[00:01:52] Sees one old sheep with a cut upon its back

[00:01:56] Here's what he's waiting for "Tar here Jack "

[00:02:01] Click go the shears boys click click click

[00:02:05] Wide is his blow and his hands move quick

[00:02:08] The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow

[00:02:12] And curses the old snagger with the blue bellied "joe"

[00:02:33] Shearing is all over and we've all got our cheques

[00:02:36] Roll up your swag for we're off on the tracks

[00:02:40] The first pub we come to it's there we'll have a spree

[00:02:44] And everyone that comes along it's "Come and drink with me "

[00:03:05] Down by the bar the old shearer stands

[00:03:09] Grasping his glass in his thin bony hands

[00:03:13] Fixed is his gaze on a green-painted keg

[00:03:17] Glory he'll get down on it before it's a peg

[00:03:20] Click go the shears boys click click click

[00:03:25] Wide is his blow and his hands move quick

[00:03:29] The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow

[00:03:32] And curses the old snagger with the blue bellied "joe"

[00:03:37] There we leave him standing shouting for all hands

[00:03:41] Whilst all around him every shouter stands

[00:03:44] His eyes are on the cask which is now lowering fast

[00:03:48] He works hard he drinks hard and goes to hell at last

[00:03:52] Click go the shears boys click click click

[00:03:57] Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
