@zefer14 Sorry, I added the comment from my other account and deleted it to add it from the right one, but you replied very quickly in the meantime! For anyone else, I said "You might be confusing this with the other Lachlan Tigers clip I have up, which is from the 70s. None of the members in this video were in the Bushies in the 70s, the fashions are clearly 1980s and no one could call it soft!"
I don’t recognise it as a Scottish song. Bits of it are vaguely reminiscent of other Australian songs. What Scottish song do you say it’s come from? Not saying you’re wrong, just genuinely curious.
Lachlan Tigers Well at each gate each shearer stood as the whistle loudly blew With eyebrows fixed and lips set tight and the tigers all fed too You can hear the clicking of the shears as through the wool they glide And see the ringer already turned and on the whipping side A lot of Lachlan tigers it's plain to see they are And the ringer goes on driving as he loudly calls for tar Tar here you dozy loafer and quick the tar boy flies Broom here and sweep those locks away another loudly cries The scene it is a lively one and ought to be admired There's never been a better board since Jacky Howe expired Along the board the contractor walks his face all in a frown And passing by the ringer he says my lad keep down I mean to have those bellies off and topknots too likewise My eye is quick so none of your tricks or from me you will fly My curse on that contractor by flaming day and night To shear a decent tally here in vain I've often tried I have a pair of Ward and Payne's that are both bright and new I'll rig them up and let you see what I can really do For I've shore on the Bogan where they shear them by the score But such a terror as this to clip I've never shore before A lot of Lachlan tigers it's plain to see they are And the ringer goes on driving as he loudly calls for tar The scene it is a lively one and ought to be admired There's never been a better board since Jacky Howe expired
I've watched nearly every Tommy Emmanuel clip on youtube on his own or with Phil, then I remembered he was also in the '80s Bushwackers. Joy :)
God it's weird watching my dad when he was 19. But, he can still rock that fiddle.
Yeah.. I was 6 thought he was cute. REM him back in the Day in the corner pashing a girl during music lesson.. ya dad like his father played by ear.. and yes I new Paddy his Dad..
Yeah right .. Not.
Who?

Thankyou, youtube uploaders, my kids are learning to looove the Bushwackers!
I have seen them a couple of times and remember the last line up I saw Fred Strauks (Skyhooks) was drummer, I also remember Dobe, Roger and Tommy in the same line up
They were a great band - I wish they were still around - Gotta love Dobe's mullet! -
Dobe on the Lagerphone. A Bloody Legend.
The vocalist in this clip is Dobe Newton who joined the band in 1972.
Still going and just as energetic and enjoyable
Classic!!!!!
@nearlyoutofideas Dobe Newton's still in this clip from the 70's !
Just had to order he best of tripple CD. Just had to have in my Pommy mancave! To many Contiki Tours in the early 80's with ANZACS
We will not see their like again.
@nearlyoutofideas Yes they were, Dobe was in the original clip. :)
I remember seeing these guys in the early eighties ,at Sydney town hall. I was 18 ... Roger has the most sexiest eyes ever .
@nearlyoutofideas You forgot to mention Dobe Newton who has been in the band since 1972.

Cultural Icon . ❤
Dobey goin OFF on the lager stick!!!!
Upload Murrumbidgee Please!
The tune is an old Scottish song. There are other old Australian songs that use the same tune. I dare say there are American ones too.

O remember seeing these playing at the town hall in Sydney early eighties , Roger was really Hot , sexy eyes for sure .
My dear friend used to be in the band but now he is dead
Possibly, or a tune like it! They all sound the same, you know. :)
@153alira tell him hes only as old as he feels. ask him to play "beneath the southern cross" for you.

Lachlan Tigers
Well at each gate each shearer stood as the whistle loudly blew
With eyebrows fixed and lips set tight and the tigers all fed too
You can hear the clicking of the shears as through the wool they glide
And see the ringer already turned and on the whipping side
A lot of Lachlan tigers it's plain to see they are
And the ringer goes on driving as he loudly calls for tar
Tar here you dozy loafer and quick the tar boy flies
Broom here and sweep those locks away another loudly cries
The scene it is a lively one and ought to be admired
There's never been a better board since Jacky Howe expired
Along the board the contractor walks his face all in a frown
And passing by the ringer he says my lad keep down
I mean to have those bellies off and topknots too likewise
My eye is quick so none of your tricks or from me you will fly
My curse on that contractor by flaming day and night
To shear a decent tally here in vain I've often tried
I have a pair of Ward and Payne's that are both bright and new
I'll rig them up and let you see what I can really do
For I've shore on the Bogan where they shear them by the score
But such a terror as this to clip I've never shore before
A lot of Lachlan tigers it's plain to see they are
And the ringer goes on driving as he loudly calls for tar
The scene it is a lively one and ought to be admired
There's never been a better board since Jacky Howe expired
