Verse 1
C
Old Pee
Wee had a fickle look
from too much alcohol
G
But his missus kept a green stick
C
to keep him in control
He rarely left his sunken bed
G
in the breeze way out the back
His only job was split the wood
C
or the missus whip would crack
Now the woman was a mighty cook,
G
very wide across the bum
The station kids, black and white,
C
were allowed to call her mum
Her kitchen was a bakery
G
for an outback appetite
For big slabs of bully beef
C
or good old Vegemite
F
Some of the men were bachelors,
some of the men were not
C
G
It didn't worry the station cook,
she'd feed the bloody lot
C
F
C
Visitors from the Iser
F
C
or tourists in a bus
G
With a huge pot of strong tea
C
G
and a minimum of fuss

C
Now the station pet was a
Brahmin bull
G
You could pat him on the head
He'd never seen a sale yard
He was station bred
C
I tried to take his picture
G
With a stockman and a gin
But they faded into the scenery
C
with a drought -resistant grin
To the famous brunette races
G
they'd head off for the fun
Where the beer flowed like a river
C
there was coke and Bundy rum
The station boys were favourites
to win the tug -of -war
G
The townies weren't prepared
C
to risk another broken jaw
F
Some of the men were bachelors,
some of the men were not
C
G
It didn't worry the station cook,
she'd feed the bloody lot
C
F
Visitors from the Iser
ought to recinna -bus
C
G
With a huge pot of strong tea
C
G
and a minimum of fuzz
C
It's the last of the outback stations
owned by a family
G
Hard fought by a pioneer
of the Northern Territory
C
I hope it won't be swallowed up
by a public company
G
And fade into the heat haze
of outback history
C
