Tonight The Woolshed Swings - Slim Dusty
Oh the floods have cut the main
Road off we can't get into town
And the squatters in an awful state
Thinks his sheep might drown
We've oiled out tongs and cutters up
So the rust can't get our things
And were gonna make the best of it
Tonight the woolshed swings
Oh the squatters daughters have snuck out to keep us company
And to show us all the disco steps for our corroboree
Old bart beats on a kero tin while dan the presser sings
Oh they may not be a symphony
But tonight the woolshed swings
Ringers got an old ram stag he's a waltzin round the floor
The old man tells the learners of the tallies he has shore
Rousie and the jackaroo are fightin in the wings
And we've got our share of stubbies so tonight
The woolshed swings galpfrend
Oh the rain is beating
On the roof old dan is spruiking strong
And the cooks into the rum bottle and bursting into song
And no one gives a d**n right now just what tomorrow brings
Oh there's bound to be some achin heads but tonight
The woolshed swings
And time is pressin onwards
And the cook has just passed out
And the learners and the jackaroo just shore the rousta 'bout
Floor show came to a sudden halt
When the squatters wife marched in
Now the girls are marchin out the door
But still the woolshed swings
And the ringers got an old ram stag he's a
Waltzin round the floor
The old man tells the learners of the tallies he has shore
Rousie and the jackaroo are fightin in the wings
And we've got our share of stubbies
But tonight the woolshed swings then
Oh the ringer and the old ram stag have just
Fell down the chute
And the rousies sportin shiners
And one of thems a beaut
The squatters lookin for the fool who let the woollies out
Ah tomorrow therell be hell to pay
By this fun no doubt
Yeah no one gives a d**n right now just what tomorrow brings
And the boss might even sack us all
Tonight the woolshed swings what a day
