[Verse 1]
Met a girl in Mackay
She stung me like a mozzie bite
Swollen head, puffy eyes
Nearly bloody took my sight

[Chorus]
She gave me
Ross River
She gave me
Ross River

[Verse 2]
Met a bloke at the pub
First beer, he called my bluff
He called me a dirty grub
And he was right soon enough

[Chorus]
He gave me
Ross River
He gave me
Ross River

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Ross River
Ross River
Ross River
Ross River
