I'm on my way [Dm] down to the quay [Bb] Where the big [F] ship lies in bay
To command a [Dm] gang of navvies [G] I was told [C] to engage
[Dm] I thought I'd drop in for a [Bb] drink Before [F] I went away
[D] But to take a trip [Dm] on an emigrant ship To the [Am] shores of [Dm] Butney Bay
Farewell to your bricks and mortar Farewell to your dirty lime
Farewell to your gangways and your [G] gangplanks And the hell [Em] with your overtime
[F] For the good [Dm] shipwreck I'm off on [Bb] Is lying at the [F] quay
[Dm] But to take old Pat with his shovel And his back to the [Am] shores of [D] Butney Bay
But [F] the [A] boss came [D] home this morning [Bb] Well he said, well [F] Pat, hello
If you [Dm] don't get them navvies [G] out I'm afraid you'll have [C] to go
[F] So I asked him [Dm] for me wages [Bb] And demanded [F] I'll me pay
[Dm] And I told him straight I would emigrate To the [Am] shores of [D] Butney Bay
[F] Farewell to your [D] bricks and mortar [Bb] Farewell to your [F] dirty lime
Farewell [A] to your [Dm] gangways and your [G] gangplanks And the [Am] hell with your overtime
[F] For the good [Dm] shipwreck I'm off on [Bb] Is lying [F] at the quay
[Dm] But to take old Pat with his shovel And his back to the shores of Butney Bay

_ [Am] _ _ _ [F] best years [Dm] of our lives we [Bb] spent Are working [F] on the docks
[B] Building mighty wharves and [G] quays Of earth and [C] ballast rocks
[F] A pension's [D] key for life's [Bb] secure But I am not [F] through today
[D] When I take the trip on an [Dm] emigrant ship To the shores of Butney Bay

[Dm] But to take old Pat with his shovel And his back to the [Am] shores of [D] Butney Bay
And [F] when I [Dm] reach Australia [Bb] I'll go and [F] search for gold
There's plenty [Dm] there for digging [G] for Or [Gm] so I [Am] have been told
[F] Or I might go [Dm] back into me [Bb] trade Eight hundred [F] bricks I lay
[Dm] For an eight hour day, for an eight month pay And the [Am] shores of [D] Butney Bay
[F] [A] Farewell to your [Dm] bricks and mortar [Bb] Farewell to your [F] dirty lime

[F] I thought I'd [D] drop in for a [Bb] drink Before I [F] went away
[D] What do you think?
