The Dying Stockman (low octave)

THE DYING STOCKMAN
By: Horace Flower
Australian folk song
Key: D
Time: 3/4


3-2” 2   2     2    -2”   3  -2” 2   3
A strap-ping young stock-man lay dy-ing
3 -3” -3” -3”  3    2   1   -1
A sad-dle sup-port-ing his head
 3  -2”  2    2   2  -2”   3   -2”  2   3
And his com-rades a-round him were cry-ing
3  3   -4”  -3  4  2  -2” -1   1
As he leant on his el-bow and said
 3  -2” 2  2  2   -2”   3   -2”  2    3
Wrap me up in my stock whip and blan-ket
 3  -3”-3”-3” 3    2   1  -1
And bur-y me deep down be-low
  3   -2”  2   2   -2”  -2”
Where the din-goes and crows 
 3   -2”  2   3
will not find me
3   3   -3”   -3    4   2 -2”  -1   1
in the shade where the coo-li-bahs grow
