Billy was a drover

He lived out on the Three Chain Road

Fell in love with Mary and they married
                    Dm          
She made his shack a home
   Dm                        
He drove a mob to Queensland
       Am                              Dm       
And it hurt to have to leave her on her own
    Dm                         A    
She promised she'd be waiting 
                          Dm        Dm  
When he brought the cattle home

He wasn't due for many days

In a strangers arms she lay

In the blindness of his anger 
    Am                               Dm       
The fatal shots rang out from Billy's gun
    Dm                    A    
In that smokey silence he  knew
                          Dm       Dm  Dm Dm   Dm
And he wept for what he'd done
