Grasshopper Loose In Queensland - Slim Dusty

Ah Grasshopper Loose in Queensland,

Grasshopper Loose in Queensland

Grasshopper Loose as big as any goose

and he spits tobacco juice all over Queensland

Oh if you want a little drink in Queensland,

if you want a little drink in Queensland

If you want a little drink well you give the maid a wink

and it’s quicker than you think in Queensland

Play it pretty now

Ah they grow the sugar cane in Queensland,

they grow the sugar cane in Queensland

They grow the sugar cane then they load it on a train

till it’s syrup in a tin in Queensland

Oh the men chew tobacco in Queensland

all the men chew tobacco in Queensland

They look at you and grin when it dribbles their chin in Queensland

Ah play it bluegrass now,

ah yeah that’s the sound,

ah yeah that’s what we want

Taters growin' small in Queensland

oh taters growin' small in Queensland

Taters growin' small and they dig ‘em in the fall

and they eat ‘em skin and all in Queensland

Oh I’m a going back to Queensland;

I’m a going back to Queensland

I’m a going back to my old log shack

and I’m never comin' back from Queensland

One more time now,

Ah Grasshopper Loose in Queensland,

Grasshopper Loose in Queensland

Grasshopper Loose as big as any goose

and he spits tobacco juice all over Queensland

Ah Grasshopper Loose in Queensland,

Grasshopper Loose in Queensland

Grasshopper Loose as big as any goose

and he spits tobacco juice all over Queensland
