Tambaroora Ted

Sure I'm just about to cut out for the Lachlan,
And to urn a hundred out, I know the plan,
Give unto me sufficient cash,
And you'll see me make a splash,
Sure I'm Tambaroora Ted, the ladies man.

Yes, of me you might have read, for I'm Tambaroora Ted,
And my shearing skills are known both far and wide,
I'm Don of the Riverine, with the ladies cut a shine,
And my tally's never under ninety-nine.

Put me on the shearing floor, and it's there I'm bound to win,
(Couldn't recall rest of verses)

(This verse later recalled)
Put me on a shearing board, and it's there I'll bet for sure,
That's I'll give to any ringer ten sheep start,
And away from them I'll glide, right down the whipping side,
For I'm as fast as a bullet or a dart.
