The Drover's Cook (Remastered)
Now the drovers cook weighed fifteen stone and he had one bloodshot eye He had no laces in his boots and no buttons on his fly His pants hung loosly round his hips hitched by a piece of wire And they concertined round his boots in a way that you'd admire
Well he stuck the billy on the boil and then emptied out his pipe And with his greasy shirtsleeves he gave his nose a wipe And with pipe in mouth he mixed a sod and the drip hung from his chin And as he mixed the damper up the drip kept dripping in
I walked quietly over to him and said toss that mixtuer out And in future when your working keep your pipe out of your mouth Well he stood erect and eyed me with such a dirty look And said in choice Australian 'Get another bloody cook'

Well I can't explain my feelings with joy I nearly cried As we staggered to a shade close by where he sank down and died Now you talk about that saltbush scrap why it was only play Compared to that grueling battle we fought that fatal day
And now above his resting place where the grasses grown to seed On stone is carved this epitath for travelers to read Here lies the son of Donald Gunn none gamer ever stood And he died in dinkum battle with Jimmy Underwood
