Tony Doherty wrote this song. We still haven't gotten to perform it yet but we're still optimistic we'll get Tony onstage because it can be confidently said that he will do this great song justice with his voice which is so full of character and his commanding stage presence.

lyrics

The Sheila from Biloela (Tony Doherty)


She’s sturdy and she’s big and she makes meat pies
Sells me to the locals and they look into her eyes
She rides she fights she drinks like a fish
She’s sweet as a dish
They try to give her cheek but she soon puts m straight
Like to sweet talk her ask her on a date
At the B and S ball meets a farmer one year
Now she’s married with a family

CHORUS
The Sheila from Biloela
She might be fearsome she might be tough
Trust her with your life trust her with your love
The Sheila from Biloela
Droughts are tough and the farms all face hard times
No one can afford to buy Sheila’s meat pies
She gets an idea a fundraiser rodeo
Slim Jack Duggan’s star of the show
He comes out of the shoot at the sound of the bell
He rides six seconds then he slipped and fell
The crowd is hushed he barely rode that long
Sheila says the show must go on

CHORUS

She says to Slim Jack Duggan wish me luck old mate
He says you’ll need it Sheila that bull’s a mad cut snake
The bull bucks and jumps the crowd cannot believe
The Sheila from Biloela’s here
Ten seconds Sheila rides a true jillaroo
Jack’s dirty and shitty he just hates to lose
But he raises his glass gets the crowd to cheer her
The Sheila from Biloela


CHORUS
The Sheila from Biloela
She might be fearsome she might be tough
Trust her with your life trust her with your love
The Sheila from Biloela now you been told
She got the soul of an angel and a heart of gold
The Sheila from Biloela
The Sheila from Biloela
The Sheila from Biloela
