Slim Dusty - Rough Riders lyrics

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
