The Station Cook

F Bb C F

[Verse 1]
F                                 
The song I'm going to sing to you 
     Bb             F
will not detain you long
                                 C
It's all about a station cook we had
 on Pirranong
    F                            
His pastry was so beautiful, his 
Bb             F
cooking was so fine
                 Bb               
It gave us all a belly-ache right 
C                    F
through the shearing-time

[Chorus]
F                              Bb
But oh dear! I feel so queer I 
                 F
don't know what to do
The thought of leaving Fowler's Bay 
     C
just breaks my heart in two
       F                           
But if ever I catch that slushy 
       Bb               F
then I'll make him rue the day
                   Bb          
He ruined my constitution while 
 C                    F
shearing at Fowler's Bay

Bb C F

F                                 
Oh you should see his plum-duffs 
   Bb                F
his doughboys and his pies
I swear by Long Maloney that they'd 
C
open a shearer's eyes
         F                   
He'd say take your time, good 
                  Bb          
fellows and he'd fix us with a 
  F
glance
                             Bb    
Saying I'll dish you up much better
           C              F
 if you'll give me half a chance

[Chorus]
F                              Bb
But oh dear! I feel so queer I 
                 F
don't know what to do
The thought of leaving Fowler's Bay 
     C
just breaks my heart in two
       F                           
But if ever I catch that slushy 
       Bb               F
then I'll make him rue the day
                   Bb          
He ruined my constitution while 
 C                    F
shearing at Fowler's Bay

[Verse 3]
F                                 
Oh you should see his johhny 
       Bb              F
cakes, his jam tart and his stew
The thought of such luxuries would 
C
turn a shearer blue
   F                               
He gets up in the morning gives us 
Bb               F
plenty of stewed tea
                      Bb        
And don't forget when shearing's 
         C                  F
done to sling the cook his fee

[Chorus]
F                              Bb
But oh dear! I feel so queer I 
                 F
don't know what to do
The thought of leaving Fowler's Bay 
     C
just breaks my heart in two
       F                           
But if ever I catch that slushy 
       Bb               F
then I'll make him rue the day
                   Bb          
He ruined my constitution while 
 C                    F
shearing at Fowler's Bay

[Chorus]
F                              Bb
But oh dear! I feel so queer I 
                 F
don't know what to do
The thought of leaving Fowler's Bay 
     C
just breaks my heart in two
       F                           
But if ever I catch that slushy 
       Bb               F
then I'll make him rue the day
                   Bb          
He ruined my constitution while 
 C                    F
shearing at Fowler's Bay
