Roughriders |
| 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 |
| He’s a knight in leather armor, 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 flies 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 their ropemen and they bulldog for a thrill |
| They take their chance and bite the dust and never mind the spill |
| He’s a knight in leather armor, 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 breaks out of the chute |
| You can dip your hats and raise your voice he’s worthy of salute |
| Yodels |
