[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G D
Texas Jack, you are amusin'. Great Lord Harry, how I laughed,
G
When I seen your rig and saddle with its bulwarks fore-and-aft;
C G
Holy smoke! From such a saddle how the dickens can you fall?
C G D G
Why, I've seen a girl ride bareback with no bridle on at all!
[Verse]
G D
How I'd like to see a bushman use your fixins, Texas Jack;
G
On the remnant of a saddle, he could ride to hell and back.
C G
Why, I've heard a mother cheerin' when her kid went tossin' by
C G D G
Ridin' bareback on a bucker that had murder in his eye.
[Verse]
G D
You may talk about your ridin' in the city, bold an' free,
G
Talk of ridin' in the city, Texas Jack, but where'd you be
C G
When the stock horse snorts an' bunches all his quarters in a hump,
C G D G
And the saddle climbs a sapling, an' the horse-shoes split a stump?
[Verse]
G D
No, before you teach the native you must ride without a fall
G
Up a gum or down a gully nigh as steep as any wall
C G
You must swim the roarin' Darling when the flood is at its height
C G D G
Bearin' down the stock an' stations to the great Australian Bight.
[Verse]
G D
You can't count the bulls an' bisons that you've copped with your lassoo
G
But a stout old myall bullock perhaps could learn you somethin' new;
C G
You had better make your will an' leave your papers neat an' trim
C G D G
Before you make arrangements for the lassooin' of him;
[Verse]
G D
And you say yer death on Injins! We've got somethin'in you line
G
If you think your fightin's equal to the likes of Tommy Ryan.
C G
Take your carcass up to Queensland where the alligators chew
C G D G
And the carpet-snake is handy with his tail for a lassoo;
[Verse]
G D
Ride across the hazy regions where the lonely emus wail,
G
An' you'll find the dark willl track you while you're lookin' for his trail;
C G
He can track you without stoppin' for a thousand miles or more
C G D G
Come again, and he will show you where you spat the year before.
[Verse]
G D
No, you'd best be mighty careful, you'll be sorry you came here
G
When your skewered to the fragments of you saddle with a spear —
C G
When the boomerang is sailin' in the air, then heaven help ya!
C G D G
It will cut yourr head off goin', an' come back again and scalp ya.
[Verse]
G D
Oh, Texas Jack, you are amusin'. Great Lord Harry, how'd I laugh
G
When I seen your rig and saddle with its bulwarks fore-and-aft;
C G
Holy smoke! From such a saddle how the dickens can you fall?
C G D G C G
Why, I seen a girl ride bareback with no bridle on at all.
