The Sunny Cowgirls - Rousy's Life lyrics

Bottom of the food chain When you're working all day in that stinking shed No chance of any weight gain When you're running up and down that board You're sweating and your face is red Waiting all day for the sun to go down Jump in the ute head into town Have a couple of beers with the shearers too It's a damn good job once the day is through Chorus I love the rousy life Always on the go can't be slow Sweat and dust from head to toe Waiting for the next smoko, that's right But work is work and that's ok You have good fun and you earn your pay But I can't wait for that cut-out Friday night Can't say boring Always something to do for us shedhands Start seven thirty in the morning Then all day long it's fleeces, bellies, locks, stained wool and dags Don't get in the shearers way I'm telling you there'll be hell to pay Gotta grab that fleece sweep the board Make sure that broome don't hit the floor Chorus I love the rousy life Always on the go can't be slow Sweat and dust from head to toe Waiting for the next smoko, that's right But work is work and that's ok You have good fun and you earn your pay But I can't wait for that cut-out Friday night Standing round skirting While that co*kie's watching like a hawk And that presser Dave's flirting Well that boy's so fine It's hard to keep your mind On the job Chorus I love the rousy life Always on the go can't be slow Sweat and dust from head to toe Waiting for the next smoko, that's right But work is work and that's ok You have good fun and you earn your pay But I can't wait for that cut-out Friday night Yeah work is work and that's ok You have good fun and earn your pay But I can't wait for that cut out Friday night
