Jumbuk, Jumbuk, It`s got to be a sin,
That you can`t go back and start your life again.
I used to be a shearer, woo-ba-deep-ba-dee-dum,
Shore one fifty odd a day.
I was never a `top gun` shearer but I`ll tell you this, I earned my pay.
I miss those wooly jumbuks, I miss their jumbuk smell,
It`ll never be the same here without `em, mate,
They don`t shear sheep in hell,
No, they shear no sheep in hell.
Jumbuk, jumbuk, the wool rolls off the shears,
Jumbuk, jumbuk, sheep as big as steers.
I got a kick in the eye from one, ooh!
One poked me under the chin, ssss!
Jumbuk, jumbuk, it`s got to be a sin,
That there`s only skin and bone between the ears.
You`d hear the sound of bleating, baaa-ba-deep-ba-dee-dum,
And every pen was full.
You;d drag out a sheep and start your run
With the one straight cut down the belly wool.
I miss that concentration,
I miss the noise as well.
You could never find a job that`ll match it, mate,
They don`t shear sheep in hell,
No, they shear no sheep in hell.
You wanna watch those sheep slide down the chute,
One by one as they`re done, they`re all huddled there, all thin and bare, all shivering in the sun.
And your aching back you`ve gotta just ignore, you;re tryin` to pace yourself up against the `gun,`
You keep snatchin` a look at your clock on the wall,
Timing your run.
And when the contract`s over, woo-ba-deep-ba-dee-dum,
There`s nothing left to tell.
Hang up your shears and crack a smile, but gee it`s hard, that last farewell.
I miss those jolly jumbuks more than I can tell.
You can never get the same satisfaction, mate,
They don`t shear sheep in hell,
No, they shear no sheep in hell.
Jumbuk, jumbuk, the wool rolls off the shears.
Jumbuk, jumbuk, Sheep as big as steers.
I got a kick in the eye from one,
Didn`t mind it at all.
Jumbuk, jumbuk, it`s got to be a sin,
That you can`t go back and start it all again.
Gee, I`d love to live my shearing days again.
