Jack Gleeson had an eye for a well-bred working dog.
No ordinary pup [C#m] would do the job.
[F#m] It was 1869, he'd seen more dogs than he could count.
But none of them impressed him, none of them stood out.
[F#] Until he met George Robertson in Casterton one day,
who showed Jack his Scottish [C#m] dogs and Jack was blown away.
[F#] He looked down at the litter [C#] who were yapping for their mum,
[F#] scrabbling round, carrying [C#] on, all except for one.
[F#] With her [C#] eyes as bright as a moonlit night,
[G#] her kindness [A] shining through [C#m] her sight.
[F#m] He could feel her warmth [B] and intelligence,
[G#m] loyal was she, [A] he'd [C#] found [F#] his Kelpie.
He offered to buy her, but Robertson refused.
They only go to family, [C#m] this one's for my nephew.
[F#] But the nephew had a likey for Jack's strong and handsome colt.
I'll swap my pup for your [C#m] horse, but then you'll have to bolt.
[F#] So they met down by the river [C#] and the deal was done that night.
[F#] It was the start of something special, [C#] Jack could feel it deep inside.
[F#] With her eyes as bright [B] as a [C#] moonlit night,
[G#m] her kindness [A] shining through [C#] her sight.
[F#] He could feel her warmth [B] and [C#] intelligence,
[D#] loyal [G#m] was she, [A] he named [C#] her Kelpie.
[G#m] [G#] [A] [D#]
[F#] Jack moved up north and broke her in along the way.
She was worth more than three good men [C#m] and proved it every day.
[F#] Then came time to join her to a classy short-haired dog.
His good mate Mark Tully [C#m] had a collie he named Moss.
[B] From Forbes to Yarrawonga, [C#] Kelpie's pups would show their guile.
[B] In the woolshed or the paddock, [C#] with a mob or at a trial.
[F#] [C#]
[G#] [A] [C#m]
[G#] Jack Gleeson put his faith [F#] into a tiny little pup.
[B] He gave it all he had [C#] and he never gave up.
[G#m] And Australians across the [F#] land are forever in his debt.
[B] The Kelpie dog, our best [C#] mate, Jack we won't forget.
With their [F#] eyes as bright [B] as a moonlit night,
[G#] their kindness [A] shining through their sight.
[F#] You can feel their warmth [B] and [C#] intelligence,
[G#m] loyal as can [A] be, our [C#] dog, [F#] the Kelpie.
[G#] [G#m] Kelpie.
