Toganmain in Australian Folklore

I've shore at Burrabogie and I've shore at Toganmain

I've shore at Big Willandra and out on the Coleraine

But before the shearing was over I longed to get back again

Shearing for old Tom Patterson on the One Tree Plain

Chorus:

All among the wool, boys, all among the wool.

Keep your blades full, boys, keep your blades full.

I can do a respectable tally meself whenever I like to try.

They know me round the backblocks as Flash Jack from Gundagai.

I've shore at Big Willandra and I've shore at Tilberoo,

And once I drew my blades, boys, upon the famed Barcoo.

But at Cowan Downs and Trida as far as the Moulamein

I was always glad to get back again on the One Tree Plain.

And I've pinked them with the Wolseleys and I've brushed with B-bows too,

And I've shaved them in the grease, me boys, with the grass seeds showing through.

But I never slummed a pen, my lads, whatever it might contain,

When shearing for Old Tom Patterson on the One Tree Plain.

And I've been whaling up the Lachlan and I've dossed on Cooper's Creek,

And once I rung Cudjingie shed and blued it in a week.

But when Gabriel blows his trumpet, lads, I'll catch the morning train,

And push for Old Tom Patterson's on the One Tree Plain.
