Pass the Bottle 'Round (Remastered 2017) - Lee Kernaghan/C. Buchanan/Garth Porter

Written by：Garth Porter/Lee Kernaghan/C. Buchanan

The sparks flew ever upwards from the glowing gidgee log

Patty scraped his plate and threw the scraps over to the dogs

The crackling campfire flickered as the lads rolled out their swags

Then Clarrie pulled a bottle from his beaten saddle bag

It was out toward the border on a western cattle run

They were rounding up those scrubbers one last time

And they talked about the old days as the coals were burning down

Memories that grow fonder as they passed the bottle 'round

Well Henry told a story when his old mate Bill got drunk

How he picked some Toey shearers outside the Birdsville pub

And he raised another chuckle when he told as he stepped in

Old Bill let loose a blinder and he copped it on the chin

And it was out toward the border on a western cattle run

They were rounding up those scrubbers one last time

And they talked about the old days as the coals were burning down

Memories that grow fonder as they passed the bottle 'round

Patty stared into the embers and quietly he spoke

Of the night when out near Walgett the Barwon river broke

And his kelpie he was stranded on the other side

When he tried to reach old Patty he was taken by the tide

It was out toward the border on a western cattle run

They were rounding up those scrubbers one last time

And they talked about the old days as the coals were burning down

Memories that grow fonder as they passed the bottle 'round

It was out toward the border on a western cattle run

They were rounding up those scrubbers one last time

And they talked about the old days as the coals were burning down

Memories that grow fonder as they passed the bottle 'round
