   F                              G                  C

Well Henry told a story when his old mate Bill got drunk

    F                               C                G7 
Old Bill let loose a blinder and he copped it on the chin 
 
 
 
           F                          C 
And it was out toward the border on a western cattle run

They were rounding up those scrubbers one last time

       F                               C            G7 
Of the night when out near Walgett the Barwon river broke 
C                              G            G7 
And his kelpie he was stranded on the other side 
        F                               C            G7 
When he tried to reach old Patty he was taken by the tide 
 
 
       F                          C 
It was out toward the border on a western cattle run
