Verse 1
G 
C 
Oh, I dreamt I shore in a shearing shed
G 
and it was a dream of joy
For every one of the rouseabouts
C 
was a girl dressed up as a boy
Dressed up like a page in a pan of mime
and the prettiest ever seen
G 
They had flaxen hair,
they had coal black hair
C 
and every shade in between
F 
They were short plump girls,
they were tall slim girls
C 
and the handsomest ever seen
D 
They were four foot five,
they were six foot high
G 
and every height in between
C 
And  the sheds were cooled
by electric fans
G 
that were over every shoot
The pen was polished mahogany
C 
and everything else to suit
The huts had springs on the mattresses
G 
and the tucker was simply grand
And every night by the billabong
C 
G 
C 
G 
we danced to a country band
C 
F 
Our pay was the wool on
C 
the jumbuck's back
So we shored till we was blue
Dm 
The sheep were washed before
we shore
G 
C 
and the rams were scented too
And we all of us wept
when the sheds cut out
in spite of the long hot day
G 
For every hour them girls washed in
C 
with whiskey and beer on trays
There were three of
them girls to every chap
G 
and as jealous as they could be
There were three of
them girls to every chap
C 
and six of them picked on me
We were drafting them out on
the homewood track
G 
and sharing them round like steam
When I walked with my head
in the blazing sun
C 
And found it was a shearer's dream
