Click Go the Shears -John Kane
Out on the board the old shearer stands
Grasping his shears in his thin bony hands
Fixed is his gaze on a bare bellied yoe
Glory if he gets her won't he make the ringer go
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare bellied Joe
In the middle of the floor in his cane bottomed chair
Is the boss of the board with eyes everywhere
Notes well each fleece as it comes to the screen
Paying strict attention that it's taken off clean
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare bellied yoe
The tar boy is there awaiting in demand
With his blackened tar pot and his tarry hand
Sees one old sheep with a cut upon its back
Hears what he's waiting for tar here Jack
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare bellied yoe
Shearing is all over and we've all got our cheques
Roll up your swags boys top from the tracks
The first pub we come to it's there we'll have a spree
And everyone that comes along it's come and drink with me
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare bellied yoe
There we leave him standing shouting for all hands
Whilst all around him every shouter stands
His eyes are on the cask which is now lowering fast
He works hard he drinks hard and goes to hell at last
Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick
The ringer looks around and is beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger with the bare bellied yoe
