There'd be a blue out the back And we'd all rush from the bar to take a look Drover Pat and Billy Arnold had been drinkin in the heat all afternoon They were rollin in the dirt, fists were flyin, Things were gettin rough, But when Billy stated bleedin, the publican said fellas break it up
chorus shake on it, just put it there thats the way its always been round here you can trust 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 and two grins 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'
chorus
now the years have rolled by and they still disagree but that old handshake's as firm as it used to be
