Aussie

There'd be a blue out the back
And we'd all rush from the bar to take a look
Drover Pat and Billy Arnold
had been drinkin in the heat all afternoon
They were rollin in the dirt, fists were flyin,
Things were gettin rough,
But when Billy stated bleedin,
the publican said fellas break it up

chorus
shake on it,
just put it there
thats the way its always been round here
you can trust a man
when he held out is hand
and said lets shake on it

they were battered and briused
when pat and billy picked themselves up
they looked each other over
and two grins appeared from behind the sweat and dust
billy picked up his hat and clipped his old man on the ear
and said 'we'll call it a draw pat,
but i reckon you owe me a beer'

chorus

now the years have rolled by
and they still disagree
but that old handshake's as firm
as it used to be

chorus
