412. Wallaby Stew (Traditional Australian) and information related to this topic.

Although this is generally considered a traditional Australian song, in fact it was originally written by Cecil Poole in 1897, under the title “When Dad Comes Out of Gaol” and published in “The Bulletin.” The tune normally used now comes from the singing of A. L. Lloyd, who learned the song while working on the Lachlan around 1930. According to Lloyd the tune was well-known to seamen as the melody to a shanty called “According to the Act”.

Lyrics and chords:
………. D …………………………………………. A7 ……………. D
Poor Dad, he got a five year stretch as everybody knows,
……… G ………………… D …………………….. G …………………. A7
And now he lives in Boggo Road, broad arrows on his clothes.
…….. G …………………………. D ……………………. G
He branded old Brown’s clean-skins and he never left a tail;
….. D …………………………………………. A7 …………….. D
So I’ll relate the family’s fate since Dad got put in jail.

……. G …………………. D
So stir the wallaby stew,
……….. G ……………… Em ……….. A7
Make soup from the kangaroo tail.
… D
I tell you things is pretty crook
……….. A7 ……………. D
Since Dad got put in jail.

Our sheep all died a month ago, not rot but blooming fluke,
Our cow was boozed last Christmas Day by elder brother Luke.
I’ve sold the buggy on my own, the place is up for sale.
That wont be all that has been junked when Dad gets out of jail.

Our Bess got shook upon a bloke whose gone we don’t know where
He used to act around the shed, but he ain’t acted square.
And Mother has a shearer cove forever at her tail –
The family will have grown a bit when Dad gets out of jail.

They let Dad out before his time to give us a surprise.
He came and slowly looked around and gently blessed our eyes.
He shook hands with the shearer cove, and said that things seemed stale,
So he left him here to shepherd us, and battled back to jail.
