Banjo Paterson - The UpliftBanjo Paterson - The Uplift
Work rating:
Medium
When the drays are bogged and sinking, then it`s no use sitting thinking,
You must put the teams together and must double-bank the pull.
When the crop is light and weedy, or the fleece is burred and seedy,
Then the next year`s crop and fleeces may repay you to the full.
So it`s lift her, Johnny, lift her,
Put your back in it and shift her,
While the jabber, jabber, jabber of the politicians flows.
If your nag`s too poor to travel
Then get down and scratch the gravel
For you`ll get there if you walk it - if you don`t, you`ll feed the crows.
Shall we waste our time debating with a grand young country waiting
For the plough and for the harrow and the lucerne and the maize?
For it`s work alone will save us in the land that fortune gave us
There`s no crop but what we`ll grow it; there`s no stock but what we`ll raise.
When the team is bogged and sinking
Then it`s no use sitting thinking.
There`s a roadway up the mountain that the old black leader knows:
So it`s lift her, Johnny, lift her,
Put your back in it and shift her,
Take a lesson from the bullock - he goes slowly, but he goes!
