The Stockman's Last Rest

Poor Jack he is dead and gone from us now
(hums missing lines)
When drafting one day he was gored by a cow
Alas cried poor Jack, it's all up with now

So lay me to rest, where the wattle trees grow
In tall gumtrees shadow, in tall gum trees shadows
In tall gum trees shadows, the stockman's last rest.
