Chorus
It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
'cos I spent all my tin in the shanty drinking gin
Now across the Western Plains I must wander
Verse 1
I'm stiff and stony broke and I've parted with my smoke
And the sky is looking black as thunder
And the boss of the shanty too, for I haven't got a sou
That's how they treat you when you're down and under
Chorus
It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
'cos I spent all my tin in the shanty drinking gin
Now across the Western Plains I must wander
Verse 2
I'm crook in the head, for I haven't been to bed
Since I first touched this shanty with my plunder
I see centipedes and snakes, and I'm full of aches and shakes
So I'd better make a push out over yonder
Chorus
It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
'cos I spent all my tin in the shanty drinking gin
Now across the Western Plains I must wander
Verse 3
Repentance brings reproof, so I sadly pad the hoof
All day I see the mirage of the trees
But it'll all have an end when I reach the river bend
And listen to the sighing of the breeze
Chorus
It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
'cos I spent all my tin in the shanty drinking gin
Now across the Western Plains I must wander
