"Notching a Turtledeck"
"Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me."
Notching a Turtledeck, Notching a Turtledeck
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me"
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me."
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me."
Notching a Turtledeck, Notching a Turtledeck
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me"
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me."
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me."
Notching a Turtledeck, Notching a Turtledeck
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me"
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me."
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never take me alive", said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me."
Notching a Turtledeck, Notching a Turtledeck
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a-Notching a Turtledeck, with me."
Hey Mates! Great song BTW.
