Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) Come all you weary travellers
Who's (A major) out of work, just (D major) mind
If you take a trip to (G major) Bongar (D major) ee
It's (G major) plenty there (D major) you'll (A major) find
Take a (D major) trial with the cocky
You can take it straight from me
You'll very surely (A major) rue the day
you go to Bungary (D major)
Well, how I came (A major) this weary (D major) way, (G major)
(A major) I'm eased to let you (D major) know
Been out of em (G major) ployment,
(D major) I (G major) didn't know (D major) where to go (A major)
I went (D major) to the (A major) register (D major) office,
and there I did agree (A major) (D major)
To (G major) take (A major) (D major) a job at Clear and Far,
a (A major) cuckie in Bungaree (D major)
His homestead was of surface mud,
and his (A major) roof a mouldy (D major) thatch
The doors and windows (G major) hung by a (D major) nail,
with (G major) never a (D major) bolt or a (A major) catch.
The chick (D major) ens ran over the table,
such a sight you never did see,
When laid an egg in the old tin plate
(A major) of the cocky from Bungar (D major) ee.
And on the very first (A major) morning,
(D major) it (A major) was the usual go. (D major)
He battled the plate for breakfast (G major)
(D major) before (G major) the (D major) cogs did (A major) grow.
The stars (D major) were shining gloriously,
the moon was (A major) high, (D major) you see.
I (A major) thought before (D major) the sun would rise
(A major) I'd die in (D major) Bungaree
Well, when I came home for supper
It was (A major) about half -past (D major) nine
And when I had it (G major) at
Well, (D major) (A major) (D major) I reckoned (G major) (D major) it was (G major) (A major) bedtime
But the cock (D major) y he came over to me
and he said with a merry laugh
I want you now for an hour or two
to cut (A major) a bit (D major) ter chaff
And when I had it finished
I'd (A major) to nurse the youngest child (D major)
Whenever I said a jok (G major) ing word (D major)
the (G major) missus she (D major) would smile (A major)
The old (D major) fella got jealous,
looked (A major) (D major) like (A major) (D major) he'd murder me
And there (A major) (D major) he sat an (A major) d whipped the (D major) cat
a (A major) cocky bungary (D major)
Well, when I had my first week done,
I (A major) reckon I'd had enough
(D major) I walked up to the (G major) cocky
and (D major) I (G major) asked him (D major) for my (A major) stuff
I (D major) went down into Ballarat,
and it didn't last (A major) me long. (D major)
I went straight into Sayers Hotel
and I (A major) blew my one pound (D major) one.
And now my job is (G major) over,
(D major) and (G major) I'm at (A major) liberty.
I'll never (D major) forget the day I met
(A major) McGuck (D major) (A major) ie from Bungaree
