Kelly, Paul - Rally Round The Drum Lyrics
Like my brother before me
I'm a tent boxing man
Like our daddy before us
Travelling all around Gippsland
I woke up one cold morning
And slowly it came dawning
By Billy Leach I was employed
Rally round the drum boys
Rally round the drum
Every day, every night boys
Rally round the drum
Hoisting tent pole and tarpaulin
Billy says 'Now beat the drum'
And all the people come
Then Billy starts a-calling
'Step right up, step right up, one and all
Is there anybody game here
To take on Kid Snowball?'
Rally round the drum boys
Rally round the drum
Every day, every night boys
Rally round the drum
Sometimes I fight a gee-man
Yeah we put on a show
Sometimes I fight a hard man
Who wants to lay me low
Sometimes I get tired
But I don't ever grouse
I've got to keep on fighting
Five dollars every house
Rally round the drum boys
Rally round the drum
Every day, every night boys
Rally round the drum
Like my daddy before me
I stand up and knock 'em down
Like my brother before me
I'm weaving in your town
Yeah, rally round the drum boys
Rally round the drum
Got to keep on fighting
Rally round the drum

A tough life in those days, but you learn't quickly how to box or starve.
Fantastic. My dad and his brothers boxed in his tent My Aunty's Father awesome workman . Tough man His daughter My Aunty would probably be as good of a boxer than alot of the men ha ha she was TOUGH Miss you my beautiful Aunty xx
aussie legend at work, when i was a kid me & my mates would slip into the back of the tent & check out ''the action'' great memories 60 odd years ago. thanks paul kelly your the man bro..
Every day, every night, boys..
This was written for my Aunty's Father, My Dad and his brothers were fighters in the boxing tent and the stories that were told to me, boy they had a great time.
One of my favorite albums for sure - and if Paul Kelly came to Canada again, I'd be there regardless of miles!
@Hunstman96 One of few? really? As a fellow fan whos been to none but packed out shows of PK since I was 4 (17 years ago thankyou very much), I have to disagree! Glad you like him though :). nothing but legend!
Mandolin and fiddle, how good is that.
Had a few jams with that banjo picker (Ian Simpson); he''s VERY good. Wonderful song too..
Such a great format for his songs..looks like he is having a blast as well!
