_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Said he was born [C] on Marble Bar, [Bb] Been a drover all [F] his life,
_ _ _ _ _ With his old dark [C] skin, A wrinkled grin, _
[Bb] Grandchildren _ [F] and a wife. _ _
_ _ He drove cattle [C] through to Camel [Bb] Wheel, And up the Iser [F] too, _ _ _ _ _
And his old eyes shone [C] of the days long gone, [Bb] And the mates [F] he knew. _
_ _ _ _ Well I met him there [C] in Turkey Creek, As [Bb] he sat in a four [F]-wheel drive, _ _ _ _
_ I was glad to find [C] his mind was sharp, [Bb] And the memory still _ alive,
_ _ _ _ Of the droving days in [C] the stockyard camp, [Bb] When he rode at the boss' [F] _ side. _ _
_ _ For he'd been a wringer [C]
all his [Bb] life, On the western _ _
[F] _ side.
_ _ Oh Paddy [Bb] William is his name, _ [F] And droving was his game,
[C] But a thousand miles on the outback trails, [Bb] Is a long, long way [F] from _ home.
_ _ Oh [Bb] Paddy William is his name, _ And droving was his game,
But [C] a thousand miles on the outback trails, Is [Bb] a long, long way _ _ [F] from home.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well he looked so [C] old and weary, As [Bb] he proudly [F] spoke his name, _ _ _ _
_ His old eyes shone [C] like beacons, [Bb] When he talked of the [F] droving game.
_ _ _ _ He said he was [C] born on Marble Bar, [Bb] Been a drover all [F] his life, _ _ _
_ With his old dark skin, [C] And a wrinkled grin, Said [Bb] he loved [F] the life.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And I guess he's still [C] in Turkey Creek, [Bb] Near the hills of Misty [F] Blue,
_ _ _ _ And I hope his dreams [C] of the cattle run, [Bb] _ All [F] come true. _ _
_ _ _ And I hope he [C] finds a horse so [Bb] fine, To carry him [F] _ away. _ _ _ _
On the droving run [C] he'll be number one, [Bb] Like the good old [F] _ days. _
_ Oh [Bb] Paddy William is his name, _ [F] And droving was his game,
[C] But a thousand miles on the outback trails, [Bb] Is a long, long way [F] from home.
_ _ Oh [Bb] Paddy William is his name, [F] And droving was his game, _
[C] But a thousand miles on the outback trails, [Bb] Is a long, long _ way _ [F] from home. _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ So if you're driving through the [C] _ Kimberleys, [Bb] Or around the [F] Isle of Wight, _
_ _ You might see him [C] slowly riding, [Bb] With a big mob [F] on the _ graze. _ _ _
He'll be tall and straight, [C] don't hesitate, [Bb] Just call [F] out his name. _
_ _ _ Say good day there, [C] Paddy William, _ [Bb] Hey, how's the [F] droving game?
_ _ [G] Oh [Bb] Paddy William is his name, [F] And droving was his game, _
[C] But a thousand miles on the outback trails, [Bb] Is a long, long way from [F] _ home. _
