Though you may not believe me, Every painful word is true. I'd have a go at any job For my name is Anton Teese, But the work I did at ''Homelands'' Fair brought me to my knees. Oh, I'll never be a ringer Though rings around me lie, I'll just be a new chum crutcher, lads, Until the day I die. Doug Treasure was the Boss's name From down old Stratford way; He said I could earn quick money With work that was child's play. ''Come around tomorrow,'' he said, With a twinkle in his eyes, ''You can crutch a mob or two for me And discourage the damn blowflies.'' Well, I turned up that morning And begged the frightened sheep To come and lay down quietly At my quaking feet. But for all the good it did me I may as well've begged the gaffer For a bottle of Johnny Walker And a billy of tobaccer. Well, I shore the crawling maggots And I cut the bloody sheep While the dags were slowly piling up Around my aching feet. With sweaty blades I desexed the ewes And terrified rams alike, While the condemned were cringing in their pens And shitting themselves in fright. I could imagine the ringers blowing Their trumpets loud and hard While I stared in desolation Out across the woolly yards; They'd tell of mighty shearers, Jackie Howe and Roaring Dunn Who could shear two dozen cobblers While I was crutching one. Oh, it's times like these I wonder From my soul in abject pity. What madness brought me to this place And took me from the city; But I pray that when the gaffer dies He ends up down in Hell Crutching politicians Until the truth they tell GLOSSARY: billy: billy can, used for boiling water for tea cobblers: sheep that are tough and hard to shear crutching: to cut away the wool around the sheep's backside to discourage blowflies dags: bits of muck that cling to wool around the backside new chum: a new arrival to an occupation; usually derogatory ringer: the best shearer in the shed rings: arseholes @Australia @sheep @animal @work filename[ CHUMCRUT BR ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Nightingale, Nightingales Sing, Nine Gold Medals, Nine Miles From Gundagai, Nine Pound Hammer Roll On Buddy, No Balls At All, No Comfort Facilities, No Irish Need Apply, No Man Is An Island, Nobody Knows The Trouble Ive Seen, Nobody Knows You When Youre Down And Out, North Country Maid, Northeast Passage, Norway Native Anthem Text, Nostradamus, Nottingham Ale, Now Robin Lend To Me Thy Bow, Nowhere In A Hurry Blues, Number Fifteen Sunscreen, Nuts In May, Nutting Girl, O Christmas Tree, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Du Lieber Augustin, O For Ane And Twenty Tam, O Holy Night, O Kenmures On And Awa Willie, Oak Ash And Thorn, October Roses, Ode To The Little Brown Shack, Odooleys First Five Oclock Tea, Oedallay, Of Late Ive Been Driven Near Crazy, Off To Dublin In The Green, Oggy Man, Oh A Drop Of Nelsons Blood Wouldnt Do Us Any Harm, Oh Are You Sleeping Maggie, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, Oh Con All The Faithful, Oh Freedom, Oh Genevieve, Oh Holy Night, Oh How He Lied, Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem, Oh Lovely Appearance Of Death, Oh Mistress Mine, Oh My Liver And My Lungs, Oh No John, Oh Oh Oh Its A Lovely War, Oh Susanna, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
