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
