[00:33.95] I'm riding down the Castlereagh, and I'm a station hand
[00:39.98] I'm handy with the roping pole, I'm handy with the brand
[00:45.21] And I can ride a rowdy colt or swing an axe all day
[00:52.46] But there's no demand for a station-hand along the Castlereagh.
[00:57.25] So shift, boys, shift
[01:00.66] For there isn't the slightest doubt
[01:02.88] It's time to make a move to the stations further out
[01:08.72] So I saddled up my packhorse and I whistled to my dog
[01:15.10] I made for up the country at the old jig-jog.
[01:25.75] I asked a cove for shearing once along the Marthaguy
[01:31.77] "We shear non-union here," said he. "I call it scab," said I
[01:37.89] I looked along the shearing floor before I turned to go
[01:44.06] There were fifty bloody cabbies and there was a shearing in a row.
[01:49.03] So, shift, boys, shift
[01:51.92] For there wasn't the slightest doubt
[01:54.56] It's time to take a move with the leprosy about
[02:00.56] So I saddled up my packhorse and I whistled on my dog
[02:10.81] Made for up the country at the old jig-jog.
[02:19.90] I went to lllawcrra where my brother has a farm
[02:24.95] He has to ask his landlord's leave before he lifts an arm
[02:31.49] The landlord owns the countryside, man, woman, dog and cat
[02:38.42] And they haven't the cheek to dare to speak without they touch their hat.
[02:43.36] So, shift, boys, shift
[02:46.06] For there wasn't the slightest doubt
[02:48.85] Their little landlord god and I would soon have fallen out
[02:54.39] So I saddled up my packhorse and I whistled to my dog
[03:01.22] And I made for up the country at the old jig-jog.
