[E]
High climbs the summer sun, High stands [B] the [E] corn at the night,
[C#m] When my work is [E] done.
[B] We will borrow your father's carriage, [E] We will drink and prepare for marriage,
[G]
Soon my darling, Soon [B] my darling.
[E]
Shilling-mullabulla who brings the sheep in, Shilling-mullabulla who milks the herd,
Shilling-mullabulla with the white forekeeping, How [A] can [E] we feed the [A] waterfall [E] boys? Wake up!
Deep under winter's snow, Deep lay [B] the land,
[E]
And tonight by the [A] full [E] moon's glow,
[B] Flask of wine on my bed are betting, [E] We will drink and prepare for wedding,
[C]
Soon my darling, [G] Soon [Em] [B] my [E] darling.
Shilling-mullabulla who brings the sheep in, [Am] Shilling-mullabulla who milks the [E] herd,
Shilling-mullabulla with the white forekeeping, How can we feed the waterfall boys?
Wake up!
[F#]
[B] [F#m] People [G#m] think that [F#] I'm no good, [B] [C#m] Making pictures of carving [F#] wood,
[B] [F#m]
Be a rich man if I [F#] could, [B] [F#] But the only job I [E] do well is here on the farm,
[F#] [E] On [D#] the farm, And it's breaking [E] my back.
[F#] [D#m] [A#]
[D#m]
[B] We will borrow your father's carriage, [E] We will drink and prepare for marriage,
[C]
Soon my [G] darling, Soon [B] my [E] darling.
Shilling-mullabulla who brings the sheep in, Shilling-mullabulla who milks the herd,
Shilling-mullabulla with the white forekeeping, How can we feed?
Shilling-mullabulla who brings the sheep in, Shilling-mullabulla who milks the herd,
Shilling-mullabulla with the white forekeeping, How can we feed?
Love on a farm boys, Love on a farm boys, Love on a farm boys.
Wake up!
