We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
Until we return to the Augathella station
It's flamin' dry goin' through the old Queensland bush

Farewell, to you, Brisbane ladies
Farewell, to you girls of Toowong
We've sold all our cattle and it's northwards we'll travel
But we hope we shall see you again before long

And we'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
Until we return to the Augathella station
It's flamin' dry goin' through the old Queensland bush

Now the first camp we make will be down by the river
We'll off with our swags and lay the place flat
We'll bed down the herd and before the sun rises
We'll move them again and we'll cross the Black Butt

And we'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
Until we return to the Augathella station
It's flamin' dry goin' through the old Queensland bush

So mount your horses, we'll ride into town boys
We'll stop at the pub and drink the place dry
We'll spend all our money on the shanty town women
And as dawn is a-breakin' away we will ride

And we'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
Until we return to the Augathella station
It's flamin' dry goin' through the old Queensland bush

The girls are so pretty and they look so enchanting
Bewitching, graceful they join in the fun
With a waltz and a polka and all types of dancing
To the old concertina of Jack Smith the Don

And we'll rant (rant!) and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Rant (roar!) and we'll roar as onwards we push
Until we return to the Augathella station
It's flamin' dry goin' through the old Queensland bush

So come fill up your glasses, let's drink to our lasses
Let's sing the last chorus, sing farewell to all
And if you return to the Augathella station
Why dont you come by there and pay us a call

And we'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
Rant and we'll roar as onwards we push
Until we return to the Augathella station
It's flamin' dry goin' through the old Queensland bush
