Ringer From The Top End - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
I'm a ringer from the top end[00:00:09]
Where ya gotta know your job[00:00:11]
And what you're doing each day[00:00:13]
On two million acres you[00:00:15]
Bet ya have to earn your pay[00:00:17]
If ya wanna take it on[00:00:21]
There's one thing that shouldn't be forgotten[00:00:23]
Nobody else can do the job[00:00:28]
Like a ringer from the top end[00:00:29]
Out on the fence line swallowing dust[00:00:34]
Blood on my hands from the barb[00:00:36]
Hoping that rogue bull won't see the hole[00:00:39]
Before they get him in the yard[00:00:42]
But I get a funny feeling[00:00:45]
In the middle of my back[00:00:47]
Sure enough he's coming[00:00:48]
Like a train down the track[00:00:49]
That's when nobody else moves faster[00:00:51]
Than the ringer from the top end[00:00:53]
Reg now[00:00:56]
Oie[00:01:02]
I'm a ringer from the top end[00:01:21]
Where ya gotta muster[00:01:22]
Three thousand head in a day[00:01:24]
Move em to the yards[00:01:27]
And water them at end of day[00:01:28]
It's not the sort of job you'd take[00:01:33]
If you're looking for a soft one[00:01:35]
But ya take a kinda pride in saying[00:01:39]
I'm a ringer from the top end[00:01:41]
Well I roll out my swag neath the boab tree[00:01:44]
And then I'm out like a light[00:01:48]
Dreaming about those girls in town[00:01:51]
Next thing it's broad daylight[00:01:53]
No time to dream of what might have been[00:01:56]
I'm in a dirty bull catcher[00:01:59]
With the mustering team[00:02:00]
I better keep my mind on the job[00:02:02]
Cause I'm a ringer from the top end[00:02:04]
Hey[00:02:07]
And nobody does the job better[00:02:14]
Than a ringer from the top end[00:02:16]
That's right[00:02:18]
Oh yeah[00:02:22]
