SHE’LL BE RIGHT
(Peter Cape)

When you're huntin' in the mountains
And your dogs put up a chase
And this porker's comin' at you
And he doesn't like your face
And you're runnin' and he's runnin'
And he's crowdin' on the pace
Don't worry mate, she'll be right            

She'll be right, mate, she'll be right                           
Don't worry mate, she'll be right
You can get your feed of pork
When he slows down to a walk
So don't worry mate, she'll be right   

When you're loggin' on the saddle
And you're drivin' down the bluff
With a thousand feet of timber
Bouncin' right behind your chuff
And the clutch has started slippin'
And the brakes are worse than rough
Don't worry mate, she'll be right

She'll be right, mate, she'll be right                           
Don't worry mate, she'll be right
If you give all you can give her
She'll just fly into the river
So don't worry mate, she'll be right

When you've walked out on the missus
And you've gone to watch the race
And you took her shopping money
And you didn't get a place
And you're comin' home flat stoney
And she sees it in your face
Don’t worry mate, she’ll be right

She'll be right, mate, she'll be right                           
Don't worry mate, she'll be right
You can save a lot of trouble
If you say you won the double
So don't worry mate, she'll be right

When you've had yer copper goin'
And you've boiled a ton of hops
And you've brewed your brew
And bottled 'er and hammered on the tops
And your missus keeps on askin'
Where you left your footy socks
Don't worry mate, she'll be right

She'll be right, mate, she'll be right
Don't worry mate, she'll be right
Shove a shot o' metho in
And you'll swear you're drinkin' gin
So don't worry mate, she'll be right

When they've finished off yer forwards
And yer backs are wearin' thin
And the second spell's half over
And you've forty points to win
And this hulkin' wing-three-quarter's
Got his teeth stuck in your shin
Don't worry mate, she'll be right

She'll be right, mate, she'll be right
Don't worry mate, she'll be right
You won't worry who's the loser
When you meet them down at the boozer
So don't worry mate, she'll be right
