Shake On It

There'd be a blue out the back

And we'd all rush from the bar to take a look

Drover pat and billy rnold had been drinking

In the heat all afternoon

They were rolling in the dirt

Fists were flying and things were getting rough

But when billy started bleeding

The publican said fellas break it up

Chorus

Shake on it, just put it there

That's the way it's always been 'round here

You could trust a man when he held out his hand

And said 'let's shake on it

They were battered and bruised

When pat and billy picked themselfes up

They looked each other over

And two grins appeared from beneath the sweat and dust

Billy picked up his hat

And clipped his old mate on the ear

And said we'll call it a draw pat

But i reckon you owe me a beer

Chorus

Bridge

Now the years have rolled by

And they still disagree

But that old handshake's as firm

As it used to be
