Explore "The Murrumbidgee Shearer" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Come, all you jolly natives, and I'll relate to you / Some of my observations -- adventures, too, a few. / I've travelled about the country for miles, full many a score, / And oft-times would have hungered, but for the cheek I bore.
I've coasted on the Barwon -- low down the Darling, too, / I've been on the Murrumbidgee, and out on the Paroo; / I've been on all the diggings, boys, from famous Ballarat; / I've loafed upon the Lachlan and fossicked Lambing Flat.
