On Christmas evening Of 1890 Trooper Thomas he set out on the road With dispatches And two ponies One to ride and one to bear the load He was ridin' from Matipi a great mare between his knees But he did not see the lioness that was crouched beneath the trees So here's to you Trooper Thomas As we drink our whisky and our beer Here's to you Trooper Thomas Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year The lioness then pounced on the pony That was carrying the precious Royal Mail But her claws sank into the mail bag And she dragged it to the muddy trail Now the stallion up and bolted runnin' wildly back to camp So the lioness turned on Thomas and she tore the grey mare's flank So here's to you Trooper Thomas As we drink our whisky and our beer Here's to you Trooper Thomas Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Poor Trooper Thomas He lost his stirrup And he fell from his mount so heavily While the grey mare she made her getaway Trooper Thomas had to shin the nearest tree From the branches he could see the lioness would not go away And she tore the Royal Mail up just to pass that Christmas Day So here's to you Trooper Thomas As we drink our whisky and our beer Here's to you Trooper Thomas Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Here's to you Trooper Thomas As we drink our whisky and our beer (Yeah hoo) Here's to you Trooper Thomas Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (Yeah hoo)
