the song came about listening to and watching shearers in Australia,being a unique occupation there,and one of the most demanding jobs you can do.
Lyrics
Shearin with a beer in your hand 20/7/2005 Peter O'Brien C G My name is Eric Stew.... I come from Mullagadoo ... I shear with a beer in me hand With me mate Jack Lawder.... we traveled to the border... C to shear and make a quid or two C We met a cocky named blue.... He said come with me you two... G I think I got a job for you..... I got a spread with a shed and a decent bed.... C but you got to work your butt off too. (chorus) C G So we're shearin with a beer ....shearin with a beer.... shearin with a beer in me hand shearin with a beer and you got to show no fear... C when you're shearin with a beer in your hand. C G Now me mate Jack Lawder.... workin in the corner... shearin with a beer in his hand He's underneath his sheep... I think he's fast asleep C still shearin with a beer in his hand (chorus) D There's a gun shearer from Cue.... His name was bluey too A started shearin with a beer in his hand.. now He joined me mate Jack Lawder sleeping in the corner D cause he thought he oughta, due to shearin with a beer in his hand. (chorus) (Talking part) Hey Boss.. how many have I done mate! About twenty. Cor! I better get have another beer....gotta get me motor rollin! I'm talkin about beers you lazy sod! LUNCHTIME!!! Hey cookie! what's this pork chop doin on me plate mate? Bit of a change from lamb chop Stew! Cor! I know that one ....shorned it yesterday! (chorus) D I think I started somthin......the whole shed is jumpin.... A they're shearin with a beer in their hands.... The old boss is fumin..... I think that he's assumin.... D we're a lousy mob of dingoes on his land. (Chorus) So we're shearin with a beer ( 2 times to fin.)
