Cattlemen From The High Plains - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

You may talk of the ringer from Queensland,[00:00:13]

The big shearing gun from the west,[00:00:17]

They are men who have proven their value,[00:00:21]

Whenever they’re put to the test,[00:00:25]

But if you ever look to the mountains,[00:00:28]

And the south where it snows and it rains,[00:00:32]

Have you thought of the men from the Snowy,[00:00:36]

And the cattlemen from the high plains.[00:00:40]

From the high plains away above Dargo[00:00:44]

In the alps where the snow daisy grows.[00:00:47]

Where the wild mountain herds are grazin’[00:00:51]

Beneath the shadow of mountains of snow,[00:00:55]

Where the cattlemen searched every cranny,[00:00:58]

When they muster at each summer’s end,[00:01:02]

In their rain batter hats and their oil skins,[00:01:06]

From the high plains, come real cattlemen,[00:01:10]

They’re a part of Australia’s hist’ry,[00:01:13]

Their heritage all be the same,[00:01:18]

If nobody cares what is happn’nin’,[00:01:21]

To the cattlemen from the high plains.[00:01:25]

After one fifty years they can take it,[00:01:34]

All the hardship the mountains can give,[00:01:38]

They hand onto each generation,[00:01:42]

Their caring, their live and let live,[00:01:46]

All the steep mountain tracks and the gullies,[00:01:50]

Which one knows like the palm of his hand,[00:01:53]

There’s no room here for too many new chumps[00:01:57]

In the mountain cattleman’s land.[00:02:00]

So I guess that you’ll never believe me,[00:02:05]

When you hear what they’re plannin’ to do,[00:02:08]

Down in town, mate they’re writin’ the law now,[00:02:12]

That the man from the high plains must go,[00:02:15]

Take his herds from the mountains and ridges,[00:02:19]

Leave the land where his forefathers reigned,[00:02:23]

With the sweep of the pen they want to write out,[00:02:27]

The cattlemen from the high plains,[00:02:30]

And we lose a part of our hist’ry,[00:02:34]

Of our land built through struggle and strain,[00:02:38]

A bit more of our freedom goes with them,[00:02:42]

The cattlemen from the high plains,[00:02:46]

Just a bit more freedom goes with them,[00:02:49]

The cattlemen from the high plains.[00:02:53]
