The girls from Paewai Mullins Were led by Aria on the day We couldn’t have the shearing blokes All leading them astray She put them all together For a unique day on the board Right from the very minute The first girl pulled the cord The girls from Paewai Mullins, Are all from foreign lands Two Norwegians and one Scottish All here to try their hand One from Germany still learning And an Aussie on the broom An Aussie twang was sounding All throughout the room The girls from Paewai Mullins Are a happy shearing mob Cause they're setting lots of records While they're getting on with job One got her first two hundred And was as pleased as she could be She got her photo taken With her face lit up with glee The girls from Paewai Mullins Set some records some did say The four stand ladies record Was uncontested till that day

The girls all shore their hearts out For their tally, eight two one A four stand ladies record For eight hours on the run The girls from Paewai Mullins Were at their personal best All shore their personal records Before they took a rest The press were right upon it To record the ladies feat Assisted there by Aria Who thought it was quite neat The girls from Paewai Mullins Looked back upon their day With pride on their achievement Before they went away And when they get back home again The memories will stay Of the farm near Dannevirke Where the girls went out to play A Shepherd
