I've shore at Burrabogie, and I've shore at Toganmain
I've shore at Big Willandra, and out on the Coleraine
Before the shearing was over, I wished meself back again
A-shearing for old Tom Patterson on the One Tree Plain
ย
All among the wool boys, all among the wool
Keep your wide blades full boys, keep your wide blades full
I can do a respectable tally meself, whenever I likes to try
They know me round the country as Flash Jack from Gundagai
ย
I've shore at Big Willandra, and I've shore at Tilberoo
And once I drew me blades boys, upon the famed Barcoo
At Cowan Downs and Trida, as far as Moulamein
I was always glad to get back again on the One Tree Plain
ย
All among the wool boys, all among the wool
Keep your wide blades full boys, keep your wide blades full
I can do a respectable tally meself, whenever I likes to try
They know me round the country as Flash Jack from Gundagai
ย
I've pinked them with the Wolseleys, and I've rushed with B-bows too
I've shaved them in the grease me lads, with the grass seeds showing through
But I never slummed a pen me lads, whatever it might contain
When shearing for Old Tom Patterson on the One Tree Plain
ย
Well and all among the wool boys, all among the wool
Keep your wide blades full boys, keep your wide blades full
I can do a respectable tally meself, whenever I like to try
They know me round the country as Flash Jack from Gundagai
ย
I've been whaling up the Lachlan, and I've dossed on Cooper's Creek
And once I rung Cudjingie shed, and I blued it in a week
And when Gabriel blows his trumpet, I'll catch the morning train
And push for Old Tom Patterson's on the One Tree Plain
ย
Hey! All among the wool boys, all among the wool
Keep your wide blades full boys, keep your wide blades full
I can do a respectable tally meself, whenever I like to try
I'm known around the backblocks as Flash Jack from Gundagai
