|
Heading road trains west of the Warrego River
|
Pigging in the lyginum on the Barcoo
|
Drilling for oil in the Strezleki Desert
|
Or shipping the wool clip out Pokataroo
|
Chorus... It's a tough job, mate
|
But someone's got to do it
|
It's a tough job mate
|
But it's got to be done
|
Put in the hard yakka
|
Work up a sweat
|
The harder you work
|
The hotter it gets
|
It's a tough job mate
|
It's a tough job mate
|
Packing down in a scrum in a sudden-death semi
|
Waiting for the bell on a saddle bronc ride
|
Ringing a shed out west of Menindee
|
It's just another day of a hard workin' life
|
Chorus.. Digging and driving
|
Sweating and striving
|
Grease and diesel
|
Steel and sweat
|

Tough Job
