Verse 1

C
I was raised on a farm where our lives were calm
     F                 C
In a land of honey and cream
C
As a boy I played in the summer time shade
       D7                       G7
By the banks of the old Nulla streams

Verse 2

     C
Many years have gone since I left that home,
    F                       C
Gum juice still runs in my veins,
C
I'm just an old Australian cattle camp crooner,
G                 C
Why should I ever change,
G                  C
Why should I ever change.
G G7 C

Verse 3

C
They say my dad was a bit of a lad,
      F               C
They called him Noisy Dan
He worked in the bush far from the push
       D7                  G7
Of the hustle of a noisy town.

Verse 4

         C
He could rattle off tales in the stockyard rails,
       F                  C
Of the wild old life he's had,
C
I'm just an old Australian cattle camp crooner,
G                     C
Following me dear old dad,
                      C
Following me dear old dad.

Verse 5

C
Now I've got mates in every state,
     F                  C
I've been all over this land,
C
When it's cold I hit the road
    D7                 G7
And head for Darwin or Cairns.

Verse 6

     C
Some fogies say for livin' this way,
  F                 C
I must be out of my mind,
C
I'm just all Australian cattle camp crooner
G                    C
One of the wandering kind,
G                    C
One of the wandering kind.

Verse 7

C
Don't mind a smoke or a drink with the blokes,
     F                C
When day is over and done
C
I'm proud to be in this land of the free,
        D7                 G7
And to live my life in the sun

Verse 8

C
I don't wear chaps or a curled up hat
   F                      C
My clothes are simple and plain,
I'm just an all Australian cattle camp crooner,
G                 C
Why should I ever change,
G                 C
Why should I ever change.

Verse 9

C
Now I've reached the state that nears old age,
   F                 C
I soak up everyone's praise
C
I brag to the young of the things I've done,
    D7                  G7
Way back in the batting days.

Verse 10

C
And when I leave this place for the chosen race,
    F                     C
And head for the heavenly range,
They'll say, "Here comes that cattle camp crooner",
G                 C
Why can't he ever change, (Oh no no)
G                 C
Why should I ever change,
G                 C
Why should I ever change
G                 C
Why should I ever change,
G                 C
Why should I ever change.
