Вступление
[Intro]
G C
[Verse]
C G7
Henry Lawson told a story so to him it does belong
C
But I wrapped a tune around it for to tell it in a song
G7
It's a tale about three bushmen, prospecting for gold
C
And the saga of the loaded dog as Henry Lawson told
[Verse]
F C
They had heard about a reef of gold out near Stony Creek
F C G7
And so, they sank a shaft and struck hard rock at seven feet
C G7
They had pitched a tent and made their camp, in a patch of scrub
C
And Dave and Jim were down the shaft while Andy cooked some grub
[Verse]
C G7
They drilled a rock and blasted it progress was hard and slow
C
Still, they persisted with the patience gold prospectors know
G7
Dave Reagan, he loved fishing, and Andy Page did too
C
But now that it was winter, they were catching very few
[Verse]
F C
So, Dave suggested they blow up the big hole down the creek
F C G7
And trade what fish they didn't want to the butcher for some beef
C G7
So, Andy cooked some spuds for lunch and put the billy on
C
And while the chops were fryin' started makin' up a bomb
[Interlude]
C D
[Verse]
D A7
With miner's blasting powder, wrapped up in calico
D
Then tightly rolled in sailcloth, with whipcord then was sewed
A7
A six-foot fuse inserted, with the end split for to light
D
The bomb was dipped in tallow then, to make it watertight
[Verse]
G D
They had a big retriever pup with a permanent foolish grin
G D A7
And no matter what they threw away he'd fetch it back again
D A7
He watched where Andy hid the bomb away from everyone
D
And when Dave and Jim came up for lunch the dog began his fun
[Verse]
D A7
He had the cartridge in his mouth as 'round the fire he came
D
The fuse began to hiss and spit when the end fell in the flame
A7
Well, the three men bolted different ways, through the bracken fern
D
While Tommy thought it was a game and chased each one in turn
[Verse]
G D
Jim shinnded up a sapling, Tommy waited underneath
G D A7
A silly grin across his face with the bomb between his teeth
D A7
The fuse was getting' shorter, so Jim sprang from the tree
D
And bolted for the pub while Tommy chased him playfully
[Interlude]
D E
[Verse]
E B7
He charged into the bar room, and quickly slammed the door
E
But when Tommy couldn't get inside, he went under the floor
B7
A savage yellow cattle-dog was waiting underneath
E
He wondered what that big pup had it might be good to eat
[Verse]
A E
The cattle-dog he chased him out and bit him really hard
A E B7
So, Tommy dropped the cartridge there, in the hotel yard
E B7
The yellow dog stood over it, and sniffed it up and down
E
And suddenly the bomb went off and rocked that little town
[Verse]
E B7
Some saddlehorses broke their reins and galloped down the street
E
And pieces of that cattle-dog were blown five hundred feet
B7
Well Dave and Jim and Andy, went quietly to their tent
E
While Tommy grinned his broadest grin, pleased with the day's event
[Verse]
A E
What could have been disaster in the pub at Stony Creek
A E B7
Turned out to be a thing the bush folk laughed about for weeks
E B7
And travellers heard the story, and the story got around
E
The story of a loaded dog that terrorized a town
[Outro]
B7 E E
