Roughriders

歌詞

You can sing your songs of Spinifex and a horse called Ginger Meggs An outlaw such as Curio, the meanest on four legs But when the flags are flyin' at a big time rodeo It's the boys who ride the circuit that really make the show So form up your committees and round up all your nags Bring in the bulls and wild eyed steers cut out all the scrags Set up the chutes and holding pens for the western folk all know It's the boys who ride and risk their necks who really make the show He's a knight in leather armour, and he sits on a leather throne He's a bushman and a battler, and a breed all of his own So when the gates fly open and he makes out of the chute, You can dip your hats and raise your voice he's worthy of salute Yodels They're dynamite in high heeled boots, they're men who've learned their trade In the toughest school of the big outback, the school where men are made Roughriders and they're ropemen and they bulldog for a thrill They take their chance and bite the dust and never mind the spill. Broken bones won't keep them home they're not that way inclined A reckless code along the road out for darn good time They'd crawl a mile and drag their swags to give the crowd a show And help a mate along the track and fear they never show. He's a knight in leather armour, and he sits on a leather throne He's a bushman and a battler, and a breed all of his own So when the gates fly open and he makes out of the chute, You can dip your hats and raise your voice he's worthy of salute Yodels
