Some shearing I have done, and some prizes I have won
Through my knuckling down so close onto the skin
But I’d rather tomahawk any day than shear a flock
For that’s the only way I'll make some tin
And I am just about to cut for the Darling
To turn a hundred out they know the plan;
Give me sufficient cash, and you’ll see me make a splash
For I’m Tomahawking Fred, the ladies’ man
Put me on the shearing floor, it’s there I’ll bet for sure
That I’ll give to any ringer ten sheep start;
For when on the whipping side it's away from them I glide
Just like a bullet or a dart
And I am just about to cut for the Darling
To turn a hundred out they know the plan;
Give me sufficient cash, and you’ll see me make a splash
For I’m Tomahawking Fred, the ladies’ man
Of me you may have read, for I’m Tomahawking Fred
Me shearing laurels are known both near and far;
I’m the don of the Riverine, and amidst the shearers cut a shine
And the tar-boys say I never call for tar
And I am just about to cut for the Darling
To turn a hundred out they know the plan;
Give me sufficient cash, and you’ll see me make a splash
For I’m Tomahawking Fred, the ladies’ man
So move in and go ahead, for I’m Tomahawking Fred;
On the shearing floor, me boys, I cut a shine;
There is Roberts and Jack Gunn, shearing prizes they have won
But me tally’s never under ninety-nine
And I am just about to cut for the Darling
To turn a hundred out they know the plan;
Give me sufficient cash, and you’ll see me make a splash
For I’m Tomahawking Fred, the ladies’ man
Yes! I’m Tomahawking Fred, the ladies’ man
