Bullocky Oh
Unknown
I draw for Speckle's Mill, bullocky oh, bullocky oh
And it's many a log I drew, bullocky oh
I draw cedar, beech and pine, and I never get on the wine
I'm the king of bullock drivers, don't you know, bullocky oh
CHORUS:
I'm the king of bullock drivers, bullocky oh
There's Guinea and Anderson too, bullocky oh, bullocky oh
And it's many a log they drew, bullocky oh
I can give them a thousand feet, axe 'em square and never cheat
I'm the king of bullock drivers, don't you know, bullocky oh
There's Wapples, too: he brags, bullocky oh bullocky oh
Of his forty raw-boned stags, bullocky oh
I can tell you it's no slander when I say I raise their dander
When they hear the crack of me whip, bullocky oh, bullocky oh
I draw for Speckle's Mill, bullocky oh, bullocky oh
And it's many a log I drew, bullocky oh
I draw cedar, beech and pine, and I never get on the wine
I'm the king of bullock drivers, don't you know, bullocky oh
