BOB THE KELPIE
Don Spencer/Allan Caswell

CHORUS
Sheep are cute, sheep are beaut, sheep are soft and curly.
But when I take them into town, I have to start off early,
‘Cause they never go the way I want, so I need someone to help me -
I just give a whistle, and I call for Bob the Kelpie.

Bob the Kelpie he’s my dog, and though he’s not too pretty.
He’s worth more than all those fancy dogs up in the city.
He works hard in the yard to show the sheep who’s boss,
I guess they’ve learned by now it doesn’t pay to make Bob cross.

CHORUS X 2
Bob the Kelpie he’s my mate, he never lets me down.
He loves to ride in the back of the Ute when we go into town.
And we never have to lock it up, with Bob there for protection,
‘Cause he will bark at anything that comes in his direction.

CHORUS X 2
Yes I just give a whistle… I just give a whistle,
And I call for Bob the Kelpie.
