Lyrics Lee Kernaghan

Lee Kernaghan

Aussie

There'd be a blue out the back

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

Drover Pat and Billy argued

Been drinkin in the heat all afternoon

They were rollin in the dirt, fists were flyin,

Things were gettin rough,

When billy stated bleedin,

the publican said fellas break it up

Shake on it,

just put it there

thats the way its always been round here

you cantrust a man

when he held out is hand

and said lets shake on it

They were battered and briused

when pat and billy picked themselves up

they looked each other over

two friends appeared from behind the sweat and dust

billy picked up his hat and clipped his old man on the ear

and said we'll call it a draw pat,

but i reckon you owe me a beer

Shake on it,

just put it there

thats the way its always been round here

you cantrust a man

when he held out is hand

and said lets shake on it

Now the years have rolled by

and they still disagree

but that old handshakes as firm

as it used to be

Shake on it,

just put it there

thats the way its always been round here

you cantrust a man

when he held out is hand

and said lets shake on it
