Banjo Paterson - Barney Devine
Work rating: Low

Where are you roving now, Barney Devine,
Shearing or droving now, what is your line?
Oh, but it’s years since the last that we heard,
Never a mailman has brought us a word.

 Chorus

Anyhow, anywhere, country or town,
Making the money or knocking it down,
Drought or wet weather, in rain or in shine,
Here’s a long life to you, Barney Devine! 

Say, are you shearing away in the west.,
You were always the fastest and the best,
Shearing a hundred with never a scratch!
Where was the shearer could turn out their match?

Out on the cattle camps waiting for light,
Watching the stock in the hush of the night,
Singing your songs of the bush and its ways,
Telling your tales of the wandering days.

Far, far away though you happen to roam,
Ne’er you’ll forget them the old folks at home,
Sadly they wait for a word or a line
Won’t you come back to them, Barney Devine?
