Cunnamulla Fella |
Now I’m a scrubber, runner and a breaker too |
I live on damper and wallaby stew |
I’ve got a big cattle dog with a staghound cross |
I never saw the scrubber we couldn’t toss |
'Cause I’m the fella from Cunnamulla |
Yes I’m the Cunnamulla fella |
Now once when I was drovin' on the cattle trails |
I met a little girl her name was Ada Vale |
I said «Marry me Ada and I’ll be the fella |
And we’ll settle down in Augathella» |
I’ll be the fella at Augathella |
Yes I’ll be the Augathella fella |
Oh, she said her daddy’s name was Charley Ville |
She had a lot of kiddies and a lot of bills |
So I grabbed my horse that was nice and handy |
And I never stopped till I reached Dirranbandi |
I was the dandy at Dirranbandi |
Yes I was the Dirranbandi Dandy |
Now in my moleskin trousers and my Williams boots |
Aboard an outlaw as he leaves the chutes |
In my goose neck spurs I rake their fiery hide |
And the girls all shouting around the ringside |
Oh he’s the fella from Cunnamulla |
Yeah he’s the Cunnamulla fella |
Now I’ve done a little fightin' in the western bars |
Done a little lovin' neath the moon and stars |
I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour |
And the girls know me as that certain fella |
Yes he’s the fella from Cunnamulla |
Yes he’s the Cunnamulla fella |
Oh he’s the Cunnamulla fella |
Yes he’s the Cunnamulla fella |
