Текст песни Euabalong Ball (A. L. Lloyd) с переводом

Oh, who hasn’t heard of Euabalong Ball

Where the lads of the Lachlan, the great and the small

Come bent on diversion from far and from near

To cast off their troubles for just once a year

Like stringy old wethers, the shearers in force

All rushed to the bar as a matter of course

While waltzing his cliner, the manager cursed

'Cause someone had caught him a jab with his spurs

There were sheilas in plenty, some two or three score

Some two-tooths, some weaners, some maybe some more

With their fleeces all dipped and so fluffy and clean

The finest young shearlings that ever was seen

The boundary-riders was friskin' about

But the well-sinkers seemed to be feelin' the drought

If the water was scarce, well, the whisky was there

And what they couldn’t drink, boys, they rubbed in their hair

There was music and dancin' and goin' the pace

Some went at a canter, some went at a race

There was buckin' and glidin' and rootin' and slidin'

And to vary the gait, some couples collidin'

Oh, Euabalong Ball was a wonderful sight

Rams among the two-tooths the whole flamin' night

And many young girls will regret to recall

The polkas they danced at Euabalong Ball
