The Man Who Steadies The Lead (1992 - Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

He was born in the light of red oaths[00:00:08]

And nursed by the drought and the flood[00:00:12]

And swaddled in sweat lined saddlecloths and christened in spur drawn blood[00:00:16]

Oh he never was burdened with learnin' and many would think him a fool[00:00:23]

But he's mastered a method of turnin' that never was taught in a school[00:00:31]

His manners are rugged and vulgar but he's nuggets of gold in our need[00:00:38]

And a lightning flash in the mulga is the man who steadies the lead[00:00:46]

Now when the stockwhips are ringing behind him and the brumbies are racing abreast[00:00:53]

Oh it's 50 to 1 you will find him[00:01:00]

A furlong to two from the rest[00:01:04]

With the coils of his whip hanging idle[00:01:08]

His eyes on the mob at his side[00:01:12]

And the daintiest touch on the bridle for this is the man who can ride[00:01:15]

And the stallions that break from the mallee will find he has courage and speed[00:01:23]

For he rides the best horse in the valley this stockman who steadies the lead[00:01:30]

When they're fetching in stores to the station through tangles of broken belahs[00:01:37]

And the road is a rough calculation that's based on the blaze of a star[00:01:45]

When they're quickening through sand ridge and hollow and rowels are splattered with red[00:01:52]

And sometimes you've only to follow the sound of the hoof beats ahead[00:02:00]

Then we know that he's holding them northward[00:02:07]

Oh we trust in the man and his steed[00:02:11]

And we hear the old brown crashing fall of[00:02:14]

And his rider's wild yell to the lead[00:02:18]

But when from a bend in the river the cattle break camp in the night[00:02:24]

Oh then is the season if ever we value his services right[00:02:31]

For we know that if some should be tardy[00:02:39]

And some should be left in the race[00:02:42]

Yet the spurs will be red on coolgardie as someone swings out to his place[00:02:46]

And the mulga boughs hark to them breaking in front of the maddened stampede[00:02:53]

And a horse and rider are taking their time honoured place in the lead[00:03:01]

Now as an honest and impartial recorder I'd think have you all recollect[00:03:08]

There are other brave men on the border entitled to every respect[00:03:15]

There's the man who thinks buckin's a tame thing[00:03:23]

And he rides them with lighted cigars[00:03:27]

And the man who will drive any damn thing[00:03:31]

That's ever been hooked to the bars[00:03:34]

Oh their pluck and their powers are granted but all said and done we've agreed[00:03:38]

That the king of 'em all when he's wanted is the man[00:03:45]

Who steadies the lead[00:03:50]

He was born in the light of red oaths[00:03:53]

And nursed by the drought and the flood[00:03:56]

And swaddled in sweat lined saddlecloths and christened in spur drawn blood[00:04:00]

Oh he never was burdened with learnin' and many would think him a fool[00:04:07]
