Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
I'll tell you about
a mate of mine,
D 
Dear old Edna Ziegenbein,
Pleased to say she's doing fine,
G 
Out there at the ISA.
A gun boss drove her in her day,
D 
Worked round Urundanji Way,
Walked the big mobs and earned her pay,
G 
And that probably won't surprise you.
C 
But the drovin' days are over,
G 
And you ought to take a look,
D 
At little old Etna Zigginbine,
G 
C 
D 
G 
She's a walk -up history book.
A member of the tough old school
D 
Doesn't talk much as a rule
Quickly spots if you're a fool
G 
But she probably won't despise you
She'd match the men any day
D 
Drove in the Buchanan way
Just a girl, did someone say?
G 
It never did compromise her
C 
But the drovin' days are over
G 
And you ought to take a look
D 
At little old Edna Zigginbine
G 
C 
D 
G 
She's a woke -up history book
Edna says, I must confess,
D 
it's thirty years since I wore a  dress
Doesn't bring unhappiness
G 
to that rugged old bush survivor
She's generous beyond belief,
D 
you'd never dare call her a thief
But when it comes to buyin' beef,
G 
Edna is a miser
C 
But the drovin' days are over,
G 
it's time to take a look
D 
At little old Edna Zigginbine,
she's a woke -up history
G 
C 
D 
book
G 
She's getting on now, stiff of course
D 
Getting old, but still a force
Sit old Edna on her horse
A 
D 
G 
You'll revitalise her
Perfect balance, gentle hands
D 
Horses, no, she understands
Symbol of our outback lands
G 
Edna from the Isles
C 
Oh, the droven days are over
G 
And you ought to take a look
D 
At little old Edna Zigginbine
G 
She's a walk -up history book
C 
Yes, the droven days are over
G 
It's time to take a look
D 
That little old Etna Zigginbine,
A 
She's a woke -up history book.
