My name is Bluey Simpson, well how you [G#] goin' mate?
I've been conductor on this train since [C#] 1928
I hope you're in no hurry, sport, sit down and [G#] settle back
They call the Abilinga male the snail of [C#] the outback
[F#] Ah, the Abilinga male, my [C#] oath she's slow
[G#] And I should be the [C#] one to know
[F#] It's no good you goin' crook, I [C#] tell you son
Cos if [G#] you're really in a hurry then you'd better [C#] get out and run
[G#]
[C] [C#] We once took on two hundred lambs only eight [G#] weeks old
They were headed clear across the state to the place [C#] where they'd been sold
That trip was taken so damn long I didn't think [G#] we'd rear them
Ah, we had to stop three flaming times and take them [C#] off and shear them
Two [F#]
[C#] [G#]
[F] [C#]
newlyweds got on one year in the early [G#] part of June
They were headed for the seaside for a [C#] happy honeymoon
Now I wouldn't say that trip was slow but I think it was [G#] no use
Well by the time we reached the coast their divorce [C#] had just come through
Ah, [F#] the Abilinga male, [C#] my oath she's slow
[G#] And I should be [C#] the one to know
It's [F#] no good you goin' crook, [C#] I tell you son
Cos if [G#] you're really in a hurry then you'd better get out [C#] and run
We [G#] [C#]
made the outback with some Sydney papers [G#] late last year
And the people on the cattle stations gave a [C#] mighty cheer
They longed to read the latest news from the great big [G#] world outside
But they got a dreadful shock to learn that [C#] Falappy had died
Ah, [F#] the Abilinga male, my oath [C#] she's slow
[G#] And I should be [C#] the one to know
It's [F#] no good you goin' crook, I tell [C#] you son
Cos if [G#] you're really in a hurry then you'd better [C#] get out and run
