Subject: Lyr Add: JACKY HOWE, THE WARWICK GUN
Here you go:
JACKY HOWE, THE WARWICK GUN
Now you've heard of all the other shearers The Ryebucks and the rest Lachlan Tigers and old Flash Jack But we all know who was best In the bar at Lazy Harry's, mates They shore sheep big as whales And the bar was two foot deep in dags As the crutchers told their tales.
But when it comes to hist'ry, mates, When all is said and done There's really just ONE champion Australia's Number One You ask any shearer Who was best under the sun? And he'll say: "The bloke from Queensland, Jacky Howe, the Warwick Gun."
CHORUS: Yes, Jacky Howe from Warwick he's the Gun Jacky Howe from Warwick, Australia's number one His long blow is a certain pleaser, CLIP - from the breezer to the sneezer Jacky Howe from Warwick he's the Gun
Just you watch the Warwick Gun, mate As he dives into the pen Moves in fast, grabs his sheep It's down on the boards and then He whips off all the belly wool His shears are moving quick But he's got the knockers on his blades And you can barely hear them click
